Question

Sid the Science Kid is running a lemonade stand on a hot summer day. He wants to know how much lemonade he needs to make to sell 50 cups. He knows that each cup of lemonade requires 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar. He also knows that he has 2 quarts of lemon juice and 2 quarts of sugar.

How many cups of lemonade can Sid make with the ingredients he has?

Answer 1

Since 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, then 2 quarts is equal to 2 x 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 cups.

Sid has 8 cups of each ingredient, so he can make a total of 8 cups x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 cups of lemonade. Answer: \boxed{16}.

Answer 2

To find out how many cups of lemonade Sid can make, we need to convert the quarts of lemon juice and sugar into cups.

1 quart is equal to 4 cups.

So, 2 quarts of lemon juice is equal to 2 * 4 = 8 cups of lemon juice.
And 2 quarts of sugar is also equal to 2 * 4 = 8 cups of sugar.

Since each cup of lemonade requires 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar, we can make as many cups of lemonade as the smaller amount of ingredients we have.

Therefore, Sid can make a maximum of 8 cups of lemonade with the ingredients he has.

Answer 3

To find out how many cups of lemonade Sid can make, we need to calculate how much lemonade is made with the available ingredients.

Sid has 2 quarts of lemon juice, and each cup of lemonade requires 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Since there are 4 cups in a quart, Sid has a total of 2 * 4 = 8 cups of lemon juice.

Sid also has 2 quarts of sugar, and each cup of lemonade requires 1/2 cup of sugar. Therefore, Sid has a total of 2 * 4 = 8 cups of sugar.

Now, let's see how many cups of lemonade Sid can make with the available ingredients. Since each cup of lemonade requires 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar, we need to find the minimum of the lemon juice and sugar available.

The minimum available ingredient is 8 cups of lemon juice and 8 cups of sugar. Therefore, Sid can make a maximum of 8 cups of lemonade because the amount of lemon juice and sugar is limited.

So, Sid can make a maximum of 8 cups of lemonade with the available ingredients.
