Question

For every 8 cups of tea, 6 cups of milk and 2 cups of water are used. The amount of tea that can be prepared from 1 cup of water is cups

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4$

$\text{2 cups of water can make 8 cups of tea}$

$\text{The ratio of cups of tea to cups of water}=8:2$

$\text{So, the fraction of cups of tea to cups}\text{of water is}\frac{8}{2}.$

$\text{To find the unit rate, we divide both the}\text{numerator and the denominator of}\frac{8}{2}\text{by the number 2}.$

$⟹\text{Cups of tea that can be prepared}$ $\text{from 1 cup of water}=\frac{8÷2}{2÷2}=\frac{4}{1}=4$
