I don’t really understand what to do on these questions and could you tell me the ratio to solve the rest?

Explanation:

Assuming 10 cups of lemon-lime soda and 5 cups of orange soda make 15 cups of punch, we can write proportions for each problem.

x / 130 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 86.67 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 130 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 43.33 cups orange soda

x / 65 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 43.33 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 65 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 21.67 cups orange soda

x / 195 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 130 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 195 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 65 cups orange soda
