Jada makes sparkling juice by mixing 2 cups of sparkling water with every 3 cups of apple juice. How much sparkling water does Jada need if she uses 8 coups of sparkling water.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cups of sparkling water with every 3 cups of apple juice = sparkling juice

Sparkling water : apple juice

2 : 3

How much sparkling water does Jada need if she uses 8 cups of apple juice.

Sparkling water : apple juice

x : 8

Equate both ratios

2 : 3 = x : 8

2/3 = x / 8

2*8 = 3*x

16 = 3x

x = 16 / 3

= 5.33 cups

Sparkling water = 5.33 cups

How much apple juice does Jada need if she uses 8 cups of sparkling water

Sparkling water : apple juice

8 : y

Equate both ratios

2 : 3 = 8 : y

2/3 = 8 / y

Cross product

2 * y = 3 * 8

2y = 24

y = 24 / 2

= 12

y = 12

Apple juice = 12 cups

NOTE: There is an error in your question, you wrote "How much sparkling water does Jada need if she uses 8 coups of sparkling water." but I solved for both sparkling water and apple juice using 8 cups since your question was not clear enough.
