the directions for lemonade say to put 2 cups of liquid concentrate into one gallon of water. if olivia only wants to make one pint of lemonade, how many fluid ounces of concentrate should she put?

Answer 1

1 gallon = 16 cups

The directions make 18 cups.

1 pint = 2 cups

Solve this proportion.

2/18 = x/2

18x = 4

x = 0.222 cups of concentrate

Answer 2

2 cups = 16 fluid ounces

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces

x/16 = 16/128

Solve for x.
