Question

fruit punch is made up for a party by mixing 2 and 1/2 quarts of apple juice 1 1/2 quarts of cranberry juice and 3 quarts of grape juice of the punch made 6 quarts are poured into a jug to serve to the guest

Answer 1

Answer: To find the proportions of each type of juice in the 6 quarts of fruit punch, we need to use ratios:

For every 2.5 quarts of apple juice, we need (6/8) x 2.5 = 1.875 quarts of apple juice.

For every 1.5 quarts of cranberry juice, we need (6/8) x 1.5 = 1.125 quarts of cranberry juice.

For every 3 quarts of grape juice, we need (6/8) x 3 = 2.25 quarts of grape juice.

So the proportions of apple, cranberry, and grape juice in the 6 quarts of fruit punch are approximately:

1.875 quarts of apple juice

1.125 quarts of cranberry juice

2.25 quarts of grape juice

Note that these proportions are approximate because we rounded the amounts of each juice to two decimal places.
