Problem
Luka is making lemonade to sell at a school fundraiser. His recipe requires 
times as much water as sugar and twice as much sugar as lemon juice. He uses 
cups of lemon juice. How many cups of water does he need?
Solution 1 (Direct)
We have 
so Luka needs 
cups.
Solution 2 (Stepwise)
Since the amount of sugar is twice the amount of lemon juice, Luka uses 
cups of sugar.
Since the amount of water is times the amount of sugar, he uses 
cups of water.
~MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 3 (Combination of Solutions 1 and 2)
The ratio is 
or 
Since we know that Luka used 3 cups of lemon juice, he needs cups of sugar. Because the amount of water is times the amount of sugar Luka needs, he will need cups of water.
Thanks to MRENTHUSIASM for the inspiration!
