Answer: 58/122 I think and if simplified I think it would be 29/61

Explanation:

122 containers of juice would be the denominator

and 58 is orange juice would be the numerator

then you can leave it or simplify!

Hi there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{(29)/(61)}$

Express the given scenario as a fraction:

(58)/(122)

Simplify the fraction by taking out the GCF, or 2:

(2(29))/(2(61))

Cancel out the 2's:

(29)/(61)
