Answer:
12 cups sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
there are a couple ways to do this...by unit rate or a proportion...
2 cups of sugar for every 1/2 cup of lemon juice
2 / (1/2) = 2 * 2 = 4.....the unit rate is 4/1....or 4 cups of sugar for every 1 cup of lemon.
so if u have 3 cups of lemon, and 1 cup of lemon = 4 cups of sugar, then 3 cups of lemon would equal (4 * 3) = 12 cups of sugar
or set it up as a proportion...
2 cups sugar to 1/2 cup lemon = x cups sugar to 3 cups lemon
2 / (1/2) = x / 3....cross multiply
(1/2)(x) = (3)(2)
1/2x = 6
x = 6 * 2
x = 12 cups sugar
either way u choose to do it will result in the same answer.
