Question

Lorenzo and Bert each made a bowl of punch. Bert used 2 1/2 times as much lemonade as Lorenzo did. If Lorenzo used 1/5 of a cup of lemonade, how many cups of lemonade did Bert use?

Answer 1

Bert used 1/2 a cup of lemonade. To solve you would do the amount Lorenzo used which is 1/5 and multiply it by 2 1/2 because Bert used that much more then Lorenzo. Then you get 1/2 a cup. Hope this helped :)
