Kara mixes cups of sugar and water in the ratio of 1:2 to make one liter of lemonade. Calculate the total number of cups of sugar used if she used 84 cups to make lemonade.
The total ratio for the cups of sugar and water needed to make lemonade is 1+2 = <<1+2=3>>3
In the 3 cups needed to make one liter of lemonade, the fraction representing the cups of sugar needed is 1/3.
If she used 84 cups while making lemonade, she used 1/3*84 = <<84*1/3=28>>28 cups of sugar.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
You are solving math problems. Here are some examples of how to solve the task:

Sean played cricket for 50 minutes each day for 14 days. Indira also played cricket. Together they played cricket for 1512 minutes. How many minutes did Indira play cricket?Sean played 50 * 14 = <<50*14=700>>700 minutes
Indira played 1512 - 700 = <<1512-700=812>>812 minutes
Indira played cricket for 812 minutes.

Mitch is baking a cake and needs 3 cups of flour and two cups of sugar. He doesn't have a one cup scoop, only a 1/3 cup scoop. How many total scoops will he need?He needs 9 scoops of flour because 3 / (1/3) = <<3/(1/3)=9>>9
He needs 6 scoops of sugar because 2 / (1/3) = <<2/(1/3)=6>>6
He needs 15 total scoops because 9 + 6 = <<9+6=15>>15
