Brandon makes lemon water by adding3/4 of a cup of sliced lemon to 2 cups of water. At this rate, how many cups of sliced lemon would he need to add to 12 cups of water?

Answer 1

To find out how many cups of sliced lemon Brandon would need to add to 12 cups of water, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of lemon to water:

3/4 cups of lemon / 2 cups of water = x cups of lemon / 12 cups of water

Cross multiplying, we get:

(3/4) * 12 = 2 * x
9 = 2x
x = 4.5

Therefore, Brandon would need to add 4.5 cups of sliced lemon to 12 cups of water.
