How much fruit punch does she make?

Answer 1

Deanna makes 9.6 liters of fruit punch.

Explanation:

We are given that Deanna uses 6 liters of fruit juice and 0.6 as much sparkling water as fruit juice.

We are to find out the amount of fruit punch she makes.

Liters of fruit juice used = 6

Liters of sparkling water used = 0.6 * 6 = 3.6

Liters of fruit punch made = 6 + 3.6 = 9.6 liters

Answer 2

Answer: 3.6 liters

Explanation:

You know that:

- She uses 6 liters of fruit juice.

- She uses 0.6 as much sparkling water as fruit juice.

Therefore, let's call x the amount of fruit punch she made.

Keeping the above on mind, you can solve the problem by multiplying the 6 liter of fruit juice she uses by 0.6.

Therefore the result is:

`x=(6liter)(0.6)\\x=3.6liters`
