Ms. Albero decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at the Student Government party. The directions said to mix 3 scoops of powdered drink mix with 1 gallon of water to make each pitcher of juice. One of Ms. Albero’s students said she will mix 12 scoops with 3 gallons of water to make 4 pitchers. How can you use the concept of proportional relationships to decide whether the student is correct?

the student is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

the og directions said 3 scoops / 1 gallon / 1 pitcher. if you are using 12 scoops, then the gallons of water will be proportional, meaning 3x4=12 scoops / 1x4=4 gallons / 1x4=4 pitchers. if you x4 to one of them, then the directly porportinal values also have to be multiplied by the same number, hence making the student wrong since they should have 4 gallons for 12 scoops
