Explanation:

Here is the complete question: You are making juice from concentrate. The directions on the packaging say to mix 1 can of juice with 3 cans of water to make orange juice. How many 12 fluid ounces cans of the concentrate are required to prepare 200 6-ounce servings of orange juice?

Given: Ratio to make juice with concentrate:water is 1:3.

As required we need to prepare 200 6 ounce serving of Orange juice.

∴
`200* 6= 1200\ ounce`

Let there be x ounce of concentrate and 3x ounce of water to make 1200 ounce of orange juice.

Now,
`x+3x= 1200`

∴ x= 300 ounce

Next, lets find out how many cans of 12 ounce is required.

`(300)/(12) = 25\ cans`

∴ 25 cans is required to make 1200 ounce of orange juice.
