Beekeepers sometimes supplement the diet of honey bees with sugar water to help promote colony growth in the spring and help the bees survive through fall and winter months. The tables below show the amount of water and the amount of sugar used in the Spring and in the Fall.

Write a sentence that compares the ratios of the number of cups of sugar to the number of cups of water in each table. Ms. Albero decided to make juice to serve along with the pizza at the Student Government party. The directions said to mix 2 scoops of powdered drink mix with a half gallon of water to make each pitcher of juice. One of Ms. Albero’s students said she will mix 8 scoops with 2 gallons of water to make 4 pitchers. How can you use the concept of proportional relationships to decide whether the student is correct?

Explain how you determined your answer.
