Question

Stephen has 28 teaspoons of lemon juice. He uses 5 teaspoons of juice for each glass of lemonade he makes. He adds 2 teaspoons of juice to each glass of iced tea he makes. Stephen makes 4 glasses of lemonade. Does he have enough lemon juice to make 4 glasses of lemonade?

Answer 1

Yes he does have enough lemon juice to make 4 glasses of lemonade.

1. Find how much lemon juice he used
4*5=20

28-20=8
3. Compare how much lemon juice was left to what he needed to make 4 glasses of iced tea.
4*2=8
