We do not need to cross multiply any numbers in this problem. 25% is equal to 1/4. Therefore, we can multiply the total amount of juice by the proportion of real fruit juice. This can be represented by the expression 1/4 x 32. After multiplying out, we can get an answer of 8 oz of real fruit juice.

Hope this helps!
