How many ounces of lemonade do they want to make?

To determine if Tanisha needs more lemons, we need to compare the number of lemons she has to the number of lemons required to make lemonade.

We know that it takes 8 lemons to make 80 ounces of lemonade. So, we can use this information to calculate how many lemons are required for any given amount of lemonade.

Let's calculate the number of lemons required for 38 lemons:
38 lemons / 8 lemons = 4.75 batches of lemonade

Since we cannot have a fraction of a batch, we need to round up to the nearest whole number.
Rounding up gives us: 5 batches of lemonade

Now, let's determine how many lemons are needed for 5 batches of lemonade:
5 batches * 8 lemons = 40 lemons

So, to make 5 batches of lemonade, Tanisha needs 40 lemons.

Comparing the number of lemons Tanisha's mother bought (38 lemons) to the number of lemons needed (40 lemons), we can see that Tanisha needs more lemons.

To calculate the number of extra lemons Tanisha has, we can subtract the number of lemons needed (40) from the number of lemons Tanisha's mother bought (38):
38 lemons - 40 lemons = -2 lemons

The result of -2 lemons means Tanisha has a shortage of 2 lemons. Therefore, Tanisha needs 2 more lemons to make the required amount of lemonade.

To determine if Tanisha needs more lemons or not, we need to compare the number of lemons she has to how many lemons are required to make 80 ounces of lemonade.

Given that it takes 8 lemons to make 80 ounces of lemonade, we can divide the total number of lemons Tanisha's mother bought (38) by the number of lemons needed for 80 ounces of lemonade (8).

38 lemons ÷ 8 lemons = 4.75

The result, 4.75, tells us that Tanisha's mother bought enough lemons to make 4.75 batches of 80 ounces of lemonade. However, since we cannot have a fraction of a lemon, we need to round down to the nearest whole number.

By rounding down, we determine that Tanisha's mother has enough lemons to make 4 batches of 80 ounces of lemonade (32 lemons). This means she has 38 - 32 = 6 extra lemons.

Therefore, Tanisha does not need more lemons, and she has 6 extra lemons.
