Answer: 18 quarts of sparkling water

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a recipe for sparkling grape jucie calle for 1 1/2 quarts of sparkling water and 3/4 quart of grape jucie.

When there's an increase in the quarts of grape juice to 9, it simply means that the former grape juice has been multiplied 12 times (9 ÷ 3/4 = 9 × 4/3 = 12).

Therefore, we would also multiplybl the sparkling water given by 12 to get the new quantity needed. This will be:

= 1 1/2 × 12

= 3/2 × 12

= 18 quarts of sparkling water
