Question

Lebron makes 5 cups of punch by mixing 3 cups of cranberry juice with 2 cups of apple juice. How much cranberry juice and how much apple juice does Lebron need to make 4 times the original recipe

Answer 1

For 4 times the original recipe Lebron needs 12 cups of cranberry juice with 8 cups of apple juice.

Explanation:

For 5 cups of punch Lebron needs 3 cups of cranberry juice with 2 cups of apple juice.

For 4 times the original recipe Lebron needs 3*4= 12 cups of cranberry juice with 2*4= 8 cups of apple juice.

He will get 20 cups of punch.

We multiply each ingredient of the original recipe by the factor 4 to get the required ingredients of the 4 times product as the original product.
