Question

Two large servings of lemonade contain the same amount of liquid as three medium servings of lemonade. Two medium lemonades contain the same amount of liquid as three small lemonades. How many small lemonades contain the same amount of liquid as eight large lemonades?

Answer 1

Answer: 18

Explanation:

The ratio of small to medium lemonades is 3 to 2. The ratio of medium to large lemonades is 3 to 2. Multiply 3/2 by 3/2 and you get 9/4. 9/4 is the amount of small lemonades needed for ONE large serving. Since you need the answer for EIGHT large servings, multiply 9/4 by 8 and you get 18, which is your answer.
