Question 746942: Can you help me solve I recently added some humming bird feeders to my yard. They are gorgeous and visit me all day long.
The recipe for hummingbird nectar is 4 cups of water for 1 cup sugar.
Write a function that can be used to determine how much sugar I would need to make any number of batches of nectar.
How much sugar do I need to make 4 batches? 11 batches?
Now do the same to determine how much water I would need to make the same numbers of batches.

You just need 4 times the amount of water in each batch, to the amount of sugar.
For example, let's say you want to make a gallon of the mixture:
1 gallon = 4 quarts. Therefore, since you have 4 quarts of water, you need one quart of sugar.
Here are two equations you can use.
Water = 4 * sugar
Sugar = Water/4
If a "batch" is 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar, you'd need the same number of cups of sugar as the number of batches you are making. So if you want 11 batches, that's 11 cups of sugar. Water = 4 * sugar, so you'd need 4 * 11 cups, which is 44 cups of water.

---------------------
W = 4S or
S = W/4 both by volume.
------------------
If a batch is 1 Sugar and 4 Water,
1B = 1S + 4W
n batches = n*(S + 4W)

I don't know why you'd make batches of liquid. Mix it in the 4:1 ratio and fill the feeders with however much they hold.
====================
The birds are migratory. You'll see as they pass thru, then they'll be gone for months.
