Answer 1

1st one: Ginger Ale = 4 cups

2nd one: Pineapple Juice = 25 cups

3rd one: Ginger Ale = 96 cups

Explanation:

You can use proportions.

If the ratio is 5:8 (Pineapple:Ginger), then everything is just scaled up or down.

1st one: 2.5/x=5/8 -> x=4

Ginger Ale = 4 cups

2nd one: x/40=5/8 -> x=25

Pineapple Juice = 25 cups

3rd one: 60/x=5/8 -> x=96

Ginger Ale = 96 cups

Hope this helps! :)
