If Zack makes 1½ quarts of lemonade, then he uses 6 lemons. If Zack makes 1½ quarts of lemonade, then he makes 4 servings. Zack uses 5 lemons. Which is a valid conclusion?

Question

anonymous · Answer

6/4 = 5/x (6 lemons to 4 servings = 5 lemons to x servings)
cross multiply
(6)(x) = (5)(4)
6x = 20
x = 20/6
x = 3 1/3

5 lemons makes 3 1/3 servings :)

oh...wait...are you asking for the number of servings or how many quarts ?
