Question

1. Michael serves 1.5 quarts of juice for eight people if he’s going to serve 128 people how much juice does he need?

2. five out of nine people at Hawaiian Falls have a season pass if there are 360 people at the pool how many have a season pass?

Answer 1

1. 24 qt

2. 200 people

Explanation:

1. Use a proportion.

1.5 qt to 8 people = x qt to 128 people

1.5/8 = x/128

Cross multiply.

8x = 1.5 × 128

8x = 192

x = 24

Answer: 24 qt

2.

5/9 of number of people have a season pass.

number of people at pool = 360

5/9 × 360 = 200

Answer: 200 people
