Question

A punch recipe calls for 2 quart of ginger ale, 3 pints of orange juice,2 pints of pineapple juice, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 3 ounces of lime juice. How many fluids ounces will there be in a double recipe of punch

Answer 1

Explanation:

The first thing here is to convert all the quantities to ounce.

One fluid ounce = 0.0625 pint of liquid

0.312 liquid quart = 1 fluid ounce.

0.125 cups = 1 fluid ounce

Therefore, the single recipe will contain the following in ounces

2 quart of ginger ale will be 2× 0.312 = 6.4 fluid ounce

3 pints of orange juice will be 3/0.0625 = 48 fluid ounces

2 pints of pineapple juice will be

2/0.0625 = 32 ounces

1 cup of lemon juice will be

1/0.125 = 8 ounces

3 ounces of lime juice

In total, a single punch recipe will contain

6.4 + 48 + 32 + 8 + 3 = 97.4 ounces

A double recipe will contain

2 × 97.4 = 194.8 ounces
