To determine the number of cups of sliced lemon Brandon needs to add to 12 cups of water, we need to set up a proportion.

The ratio of cups of sliced lemon to cups of water is constant. So, we can set up the following proportion:

3/4 / 2 = x / 12

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2x = 3/4 * 12

2x = 36/4

2x = 9

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 9/2 = 4.5

Therefore, Brandon would need to add 4.5 cups of sliced lemon to 12 cups of water.
