Question

to make sweet tea, ted uses 3 parts sugar to 5 parts tea. if ted needs 32 ounces of sweet tea, how many ounces of tea does he use?

Answer 1

In 8 parts of tea 3 parts is sugar and 5 parts is tea
so
In 1 part of tea, \(\frac{3}{8}\) parts is sugar and \(\frac{5}{8}\) part is tea
he needs to make 32 ounces of tea
so
for 32 parts(or ounces) of tea he needs \(\frac{3}{8} \times 32\) parts of sugar and \(\frac{5}{8}\times 32\) part of tea
so he need tea= \(\frac{5}{8}\times 32\)=20 ounces of tea
