Marcos is mixing a solution in science class. He is mixing 3 ounces of food coloring with every 8 ounces of water. If he wants a solution to have a total of 24 ounces of water, how much of the solution will he have altogether?

With the 24 ounces of water he would have 9 ounces of food coloring.

Step-by-step explanation:

For ever 8 ounces of water there is 3 ounces of food coloring so if there is 24 ounces of water that mean there is 3 times the original starting amount. So 8x3=24 so there is 24 ounces of the water. Since the8 got multiplied by 3 that means the 3 we haven't used yet will get multiplied by 3 as well so we can find the answer. So 3x3=9. That means we would have 9 ounces of food coloring with the 24 ounces of water.
