0:00 LearnFun Comics. Mix-Up in Marmalade. The wrong mix isn’t right. See if you can spot the trick!

0:06 Lemonade Lane, Marmalade Market

0:09 Two cups of sugar and one cup of lemon juice. Easy peasy!

0:14 Same recipe, just mixed differently. Taste test!

0:17 That doesn’t taste right... something’s wrong!

0:20 Comparing amounts

0:22 Compares amounts, like sugar.. 1 cup lemon juice, 2 cups sugar.. Ratio: 2:1, simple relation.

0:30 Sir Oops-a-Lot mixed the sugar and juice in a 2:1 ratio. But it didn't taste right!

0:35 Like doubling the sugar but keeping the juice the same.

0:39 If 4 cups sugar needs 2 cups lemon juice (2:1).

0:43 4 ÷ 2 = 2. 2 × 1 = 2. 4 cups sugar, 2 cups juice.

0:50 Momo's trick

0:52 Divide total by ratio part.. Multiply by the part.. It's like 2:1 candy!

0:58 Always check the ratio! It helps get the right taste every time.

1:02 Your turn, hero! Momo used 3 sugar, 1 lemon. 9 sugar, how much lemon? A: 1. B: 3. C: 6. D: 9

1:15 The answer is 3. 3 × 1 = 3

1:19 See? Same ratio, different mix. Confusing, no?

1:23 12 cups sugar need how many lemon juice? A: 3. B: 4. C: 6. D: 9

1:33 The answer is 4. 12 ÷ 3 = 4

1:38 The final battle Momo and Sir Oops-a-Lot mix 4:3 sugar to lemon juice. 24 cups sugar? How much lemon juice? A: 16. B: 18. C: 20. D: 22

1:55 The answer is 18. The ratio is 4:3, so 24 ÷ 4 = 6 and 6 × 3 = 18.

2:03 Taste tests show my mix is perfect! Can’t go wrong!

2:07 Wrong mix, wrong taste! Let’s check the recipe!

2:11 The market drinks only good lemonade. Sir Oops-a-Lot’s mix-up is a dud!

2:16 Remember. A ratio compares amounts. To keep the same ratio, divide the total by the part. Multiply by the other part to find the amount.

2:25 New mystery: What’s next for Sir Oops-a-Lot? Stay tuned!
