Jerome makes and sells his own energy drinks. He mixes powdered drink mix with water to create his own special blend. Jerome usually uses 8 cups of water and 3 cups of drink mix. Tomorrow, there is a road race in town, however, and Jerome thinks he’ll be able to sell a lot more of his energy drinks than usual.

Jerome’s brother told him to add one cup of water for every one cup of drink mix he added to keep the ratio of water to drink mix the same and still increase the total amount of energy drink.

Jerome’s sister told him to multiply both the amount of water and the amount of drink mix by the same number to keep the ratio the same and still increase the total amount of energy drink.

Who is correct: Jerome’s brother or Jerome’s sister?
