Mika is making lemonade.

The recipe says she needs 1 cup of sugar for every 3 lemons.

If 7 lemons are used, how many cups of sugar are needed?  (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

\(2\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{cups}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{3 lemons}\rightarrow 1\ \text{cup of sugar}\)

\(\text{1 lemon}\rightarrow\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{cup of sugar}\)

\(\therefore\ 7\ \text{lemons}\) \(=7\times\dfrac{1}{3}\)
  \(=\dfrac{7}{3}\)
  \(=2\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{cups}\)
