  • A20
  • B16
  • C10
  • D60

Step-by-Step Solution

15 glasses glasses, so use 5 times the recipe: sugar spoons. (10 is the number of lemons; 16 adds 12 to 4 instead of multiplying.)
Answer: A) 20

Key idea: What a ratio means

The ratio 2 : 3 says: for every 2 of one thing, there are 3 of another. In a fruit basket of 2 apples and 3 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 2 : 3. **Order matters** — the ratio of oranges to apples in the same basket is 3 : 2. The two quantities must be in the same unit (you can't ratio apples to kilograms unless you convert).
