Ella used 3 4 of a bag of lemons to make 1 2 liters of lemonade. If Ella's recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade, how many lemons will she need to make 4 times the recipe?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ella will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

Explanation:

Given Ella used ¾ of a bag of lemon to make ½ liters of lemonade

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

¾ bag lemons = ½ liter lemonade

According to question,

Ella recipe is for 1 liter of lemonade

Lemons required for ½ liter lemonade = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] bag

Lemons required for 1 liter lemonade =[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 2[/tex] = 3/2 bags

To make 4 times the recipe, she will require,

[tex]\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 3 \times 2 = 6[/tex]

She will need 6 lemons for 4 times the recipe

Answer:

ANSWER IS B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate: multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

unit rate = 3 /4 /1 /2  =  3/ 4  ×  2 /1  =  6 /4  =  3 /2  bags per liter

Therefore, 4 times the recipe:  

3 /2  × 4 = 6 bags of lemons
