Answer:

Sparkling water: 50 quarts

Grape Juice: 25 quarts

Explanation:

The punch recipe uses 1 1/2 quarts of water and 3/4 quarts of grape juice

That would make a total of

1 1/2 + 3/4 = 3/2 + 3/4 = 6/4 + 3/4 = 9/4 quarts of punch

Therefore to make 75 quarts, we have to figure out how many of 9/4 quarts would be needed.

This is 75 ÷9/4

Dividing by 9/4 is same as multiplying by 4/9

75 ÷9/4 = 75 x 4/9 = 300/9 = 100/3

So we will need 100/3 times as much of both ingredients

For sparkling water this would be

1 1/2 x 100/3 = 3/2 x 100/3 = 300/6 = 50 quarts

For grape juice we will need
3/4 x 100/3 = 300/12 = 25 quarts
(Or we can subtract 50 from 75 to get 25 quarts)
