Question

According to the directions on a can of frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 can of concentrate is to be mixed with 3 cans of water to make orange juice. How many 12-ounce cans of the concentrate are required to prepare 200 6-ounce servings of orange juice

Answer 1

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 can of concentrate requires 3 cans of water

Now,

Total ounces in 200 6-ounce cans = 1200 ounces

also,

for 1 can of concentrate requires 3 cans of water

thus,

for 12 ounces can water can required = 3 × 12 ounces = 36 ounces of cans

Thus,

total ounce of juice per can = 12 + 36 = 48 ounces per can

therefore,

the number of 12-ounce cans required are =
`\frac{\textup{Ttoal ounces}}{\textup{Ounces per can}}`

or

=
`\frac{\textup{1200}}{\textup{48}}`

or

the number of 12-ounce cans required are = 25
