Answer:

12.5 L of grape juice is needed in 5L of cranberry juice.

Step by step explanation:

We can solve this situation by using proportional relationships:


\begin{gathered} (5)/(2)=(x)/(5) \\ \end{gathered}

Now, solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 25=2x \\ x=(25)/(2) \\ x=12.5\text{ L} \end{gathered}
