Question

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 quarts of sparkling water and 3/4 quart of grape juice. How much grape juice would you need to mix with 15/4 of sparkling water?

Answer 1

15/8 quartz of grape juice

Explanation:

Given that:

Standard Recipe requirement :

1 1/2 quartz of sparkling water requires 3/4 quatz of grape juice

Number of grape juice required for 15/4 of sparkling water ;

Let quartz of grape juice required = x

1 1/2 sparkling water = 3/4 grape juice

15 /4 sparkling water = x grape juice

3/2 = 3/4

15/4 = x

Cross multiply ;

3/2 x = 15/4 * 3/4

3/2x = 45/ 16

x = 45/16 ÷ 3/2

x = 45/16 * 2/3

x = 90/48 = 15/8

x = 15/8 quartz of grape juice
