Question

1/2 cup of lemonade mixed with3 1/2 cups of water what rate is water to le6

Answer 1

To find the rate of water to lemonade divide the cups of water into the cups of lemonade:

You can write the mixed number 3 1/2 as a fraction:

$3\frac{1}{2}=3+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Find the rate:

$\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{7}{1}$

The rate is 7 cups of water to 1 cup of lemonade
