a) How much liquid is needed?
b) If the recipe is doubled, how much liquid is needed?

Answer provided by our tutors
LEt G = ginger ale,
S = strawberry soda
1/5(qt) of ginger ale
3/5(qt) of strawberry soda
(a)
Liquid needed = G + S
1/5 + 3/5 = 4/5
(b)
If the recipe is doubled, liquid needed = (G + S) *2
= [(1/5) + (3/5)]* 2 = (4/5)*2 = 8/5
(c)
If the recipe is halved, liquid needed = (G + S)/2
= [(1/5) + (3/5)]/2 = (4/5)/2 = 2/5
