Answer 1

Pineapple juice = 2 cups

Explanation:

Francine uses 2/3 cup of pineapple juice for every 1/3 cup of orange juice to make a smoothie , how many cups of pineapple juice does Francine use for 1 cup of orange juice

Pineapple juice : Orange juice

2/3 cup : 1/3 cup

how many cups of pineapple juice does Francine use for 1 cup of orange juice

Let x = cups of pineapple juice

Pineapple juice : Orange juice

x cup : 1 cup

Equate the ratios

2/3 cup : 1/3 cup = x cup : 1 cup

2/3 ÷ 1/3 = x / 1

2/3 × 3/1 = x / 1

6/3 = x / 1

Cross product

6 * 1 = 3 * x

6 = 3x

x = 6/3

x = 2

Pineapple juice = 2 cups
