Explanation:
To find out how many tablespoons of sugar Joanna should use for 1 cup of lemon juice, we can set up a proportion. The recipe calls for 3½ tablespoons of sugar for every ½ cup of lemon juice. So, if we want to find the amount of sugar for 1 cup of lemon juice, we can set up the proportion:
3½ tablespoons / ½ cup = x tablespoons / 1 cup
Cross multiplying, we get:
3½ tablespoons * 1 cup = ½ cup * x tablespoons
x = 7 tablespoons
Hence the correct answer is option A
