Demarcus Rowland · Answer 1

1 part is sugar and 4 parts are water of the hummingbird food. They already give you 3,434 cups of sugar.

1 part = 3,434

4 part = 3,434 x 4 ...

part of water missing = 13,736

Silky · Answer 2

1:4

when sugar=34

times 34 both sides

34*4=136

1:4=34:136

should use 136 cups of water

that is alot of water

that's a big feeder (8.5 gallons. the water alone weighs about 74.8lb)

should use 136 cups (wow)
