A tropical punch recipe calls for 300ml of sugar for every 2 flavor packages.Write an equation that shows the relationship between s, the amount of sugar in milliliters, and f, the number of flavor packages for this recipe.
Q. A tropical punch recipe calls for 300ml of sugar for every 2 flavor packages.Write an equation that shows the relationship between s, the amount of sugar in milliliters, and f, the number of flavor packages for this recipe.
Identify Constants and Variables: Identify the constants and variables in the problem.The problem states that 300ml of sugar is used for every 2 flavor packages. We need to find the relationship between the amount of sugar (s) and the number of flavor packages (f).
Determine Unit Rate: Determine the unit rate of sugar to flavor packages.The unit rate is the amount of sugar needed for one flavor package. Since 300ml of sugar is needed for 2 flavor packages, we divide 300ml by 2 to find the amount of sugar per flavor package.Calculation: 300ml/2=150ml per flavor package.
Write Equation: Write the equation using the unit rate.The equation that represents the relationship between the amount of sugar s and the number of flavor packages f is s=150×f, where 150ml is the amount of sugar needed for each flavor package.
