    Step-by-step explanation:

    each batch requires (10 cups of lemonade):

    5 cups of water 2.5 cups of lemonade mix 1 cup of lemon juice 1.5 cups of sugar

    you are given:

    80 cups of water ⇒ makes up to 16 batches 44 cups of lemonade mix ⇒ makes up to 17.6 batches 36 cup of lemon juice ⇒ makes up to 36 batches 40 cups of sugar ⇒ makes up to 26.67 batches

    the ingredient that determines the total amount of batches we can make is water which is enough to produce only 16 batches.

    you would use:

    80 cups of water (no water left) 40 cups of lemonade mix (4 cups left) 16 cups of lemon juice (20 cups left) 24 cups of sugar (16 cups left)
