Kellan’s lemonade recipe uses 4 scoops of lemonade powder for every 2.5 cups of water. Kellan uses 10 scoops of lemonade powder to make a batch of lemonade. How much water should he use?

6.25 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

So I first write out the rates: 4:2.5 and also 10:?

So let's find out how the scoops changed, as in how did you get 4 to become 10 so you can do the same thing to 2.5 and get ?.

To go from 4 to 10 you MULTIPLY/DIVIDE. DON'T ADD OR SUBTRACT. 10 divided by 4 (to see what you multiplied by) is 2.5.

So we multiplied 4 by 2.5 to get 10. So if we multiply 2.5 by 2.5 we get 6.25.

So 4:2.5  =  10:6.25  

?=6.25

Hope this helps!
