Question

Yasmin uses 4 cups of papaya juice for every 6 cups of pineapple juice. If Yasmi already has 24 cups of pineapple juice, how many cups of papaya juice will she need to make the fruit punch?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ratio is 4:6 4 papaya to 6 pineapple

This turns out to be for every 1 cup of papaya juice you have 1.5 cups of pineapple juice.

If you have 24 cups of pineapple juice divide 24 by 1.5 to get 16 cups of papaya juice. 16:24.
