Question 999063: A powder drink mix calls for a ratio of powder to water of 1 : 8. If there are 32 cups of powder, how many total cups of water are needed? Explain part to part and/or part to whole comparisons. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well, since the ratio of powder to water is 1 to 8, we can say that one part powder requires 8 parts water. If you have 32 parts powder, we would need 32 times as much water as for one part. Thus 32 x 8 = 256 parts water.
