Question

Abby squeezed the juice from 4 oranges and made i cup of orange juice. Each orange provides the same amount of juice. Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of cups of orange juice y that can be made by squeezing the juice from x oranges

Answer 1

For every 4 oranges, Abby gets one cup of juice.

The number of cups of juice is one-fourth the number of oranges used.

If x is the number of oranges, then the number of cups of orange juice that can be made is:

j = x/4

For example, with x = 20 oranges, Abby can get 20/4 = 5 cups of orange juice
