To make 6 glasses of lemonade, Karla uses 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, and 5 1/2 cups of water. If Karla wants to make 10 glasses of lemonade, which proportion can she 2 use to determine how many cups of water, w, she will need?

10 is [tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex] of 6. 

So, we need to find 5/3 of the water she needs for 6 glasses to make 10 glasses.

5 1/2 = 11/2

[tex] \frac{11}{2} [/tex] · [tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{55}{6} [/tex] = 9 [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

Therefore, she needs 9 [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] cups of water to make 10 glasses of lemonade.
