Problem 9-31

Keanna discovers that she only has  312312  cups of corn syrup.  She still wants to make hummingbird food that is 20% corn syrup.  She is curious how much hummingbird food she can make with this much corn syrup.

a. She knows that 20% of the total volume of hummingbird food will be  312312  cups and she remembers that she can use multiplication to find a portion of something.  On a piece of paper, use this idea to write a multiplication equation for her problem situation on a piece of paper.

b. Either solve your equation from part (a) or use another strategy to find the amount of total bird food that Keanna can make.

 

 
 cups of bird food

 

(HINT: Answer should be a decimal.)

c. How much water will Keanna need to make her hummingbird food?

 

 
 cups of water

 

(HINT: Answer should be a whole number.
