Question

Wendy is making lemonade. As shown below, Wendy mixes water and lemon juice . Which equation shows how much lemon juice is needed for 6 ounces of water

Answer 1

A.
`j=(6)/(3)`

Explanation:

We can see in the table that Wendy uses 2 lemon juice ounces for every 6 ounces of water.

The equation
`j=(6)/(3)` simply means that j = 2.

Let's just try the other equations to see what they represent.

6j = 3

This means that for every ounce of juice there are 6 more ounces of water and it will be equal to 3, which is untrue.

j = 6(2)

This means the amount of juice is equal to 12, an it does not represent anything else.

`6=(j)/(2)`

This means that 1/2 of every ounce of juice will be equal to 6, which is not true.
