student handout: unit 2 lesson 3

1. you know the juice to water ratio

ecipe\ is 1:3. you are making lemonade, and added 2 cups of water to the frozen juice, and then the phone rang. when you came back to the lemonade container, you poured a glass of the mixture. what would the drink taste like?
what would the ratio look like? this mixtures ratio of juice : water = 1:2
circle the correct answer.
would the proportion be equal? 1:3 equal or not equal to :
recipe this mixture

1. what if you added 3 cups of water to the can of frozen juice, twice? what would the drink taste like?

what would the ratio look like? this mixtures ratio of juice : water = :
circle the correct answer.
would the proportion be equal? 1:3 equal or not equal to :
recipe this mixture

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze problem 4

The recipe ratio of juice to water is 1:3. When 2 cups of water are added to an unspecified amount of juice (assume 1 - cup equivalent of juice for ratio - based comparison), the new ratio of juice to water is 1:2. Since 1:3 and 1:2 are not the same, the proportion is not equal. The drink will taste more watery than the recipe intended.

Step2: Analyze problem 5

If 3 cups of water are added twice to the can of frozen juice (assume 1 - cup equivalent of juice for ratio - based comparison), the total amount of water added is 3×2 = 6 cups. So the new ratio of juice to water is 1:6. Since 1:3 and 1:6 are not the same, the proportion is not equal. The drink will taste very watery.

Answer:

1. Drink taste: More watery; Ratio: 1:2; Proportion: Not equal (1:3 is not equal to 1:2)
2. Drink taste: Very watery; Ratio: 1:6; Proportion: Not equal (1:3 is not equal to 1:6)
