Question

on the average 5 oranges will give 3 cupful of juice. if 2 cupfuls make a pint, how many oranges must be used to make 3 gallons of juice.

Answer 1

90 oranges

Explanation:

First, find out how many cupfuls are in 3 gallons of juice.

2 cups = 1 pint

2 pints = 1 quart

4 quarts = 1 gallon

16 cups = 1 gallon

48 cups = 3 gallons

For every 5 oranges, you get 3 cupfuls of juice. This gives you the ratio of 5/3. Multiply 48 cups, which is 3 gallons, by the ratio to find out how many oranges you will need.

48 × 5/3 = 90

You will need 90 oranges for 3 gallons of juice.

Answer 2

80 oranges are used to make 3 gallons of juice

Explanation:

1 gallon = 8 pint

3 gallons = 3 * 8 = 24 pint

1 pint = 2 cup full of juice

24 pint = 24 * 2 = 48 cups

Now, we have to find how many 3 cups are in 48. So, 48 ÷ 3 = 16

3 cup of juice is taken form 5 oranges.

Therefore, 16 groups of 3 cups of juice will be taken from 5 *16 = 80 oranges
