Answer:

We should use 11 tablespoons of ground coffee for 33 ounces of water

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water

2. How much coffee should you use for 33 ounces of water?

Let's use the Direct Rule of Three to answer the question, as follows:

Ground coffee (tablespoons)      Water (ounces)

            2                                                    6

            x                                                    33

6x = 33 * 2

6x = 66

x = 66/6

x = 11 tablespoons

The amount of coffee we should use for 33 ounces of water is 11 tablespoons.

Given to us,

coffee maker directions

2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water,

Coffee needed for 1 ounce of water

[tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 1\ ounce\ of\ water = \dfrac{Coffee\ in\ 6\ ounces\ of\ water}{Amount\ of\ water\ used}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 1\ ounce\ of\ water = \dfrac{2\ tablespoons}{6\ ounces}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 1\ ounce\ of\ water = \dfrac{1}{3}\ tablespoons[/tex]

Coffee needed for  33 ounces of water

[tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 33\ ounce\ of\ water = Coffee\ in\ 1\ ounce\ of\ water \times Amount\ of\ water\ used}[/tex][tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 33\ ounce\ of\ water = \dfrac{1}{3}\times 33}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{Coffee\ needed\ for\ 33\ ounce\ of\ water = 11\ tablespoons}[/tex]

Hence, the amount of coffee we should use for 33 ounces of water is 11 tablespoons.
