If we need 48 onces of juice for making 3 gallons of punch we can write our problem like:


\begin{gathered} 48\to3 \\ x\to9 \end{gathered}

where x is the juice needed to made 9 gallons of punch, so we can made a rulo of 3 to find x


x=(48\cdot9)/(3)=144

So we need 144 ounces of juice to made 9 gallons of punch
