Question

The table below shows the amount of lemon juice and sugar needed to make three different-sized batches of lemonade using the same recipe.
Lemon juice (\text{mL}mLstart text, m, L, end text) Sugar (\text{g}gstart text, g, end text)
Batch A 500500500 200200200
Batch B 750750750 300300300
Batch C 150015001500 600600600
Write an equation to describe the relationship between jjj, the amount of lemon juice in \text{mL}mLstart text, m, L, end text, and sss, the amount of sugar in \text{g}gstart text, g, end text.

Answer 1

Answer:

j = 2.5s

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

                Lemon juice (mL)      Sugar (gr)

Batch A        500                             200

Batch B         750                             300

Batch C       1,500                             600

2. Write an equation to describe the relationship between j, the amount of lemon juice in mL, and s, the amount of sugar in g.

Ratio = Amount of lemon juice/Amount of sugar

Ratio = 500/200 = 750/300 = 1,500/600

Ratio = 2.5

Now, we can write the equation, this way:

j = 2.5s
