A recipe for fruit punch calls for 7 cups of apple juice for every 3 cups of pineapple juice, and you want to make 40 cups of fruit punch.

How many cups of each juice do you need to make a total of 40 cups of fruit punch?

Explanation:

7 cups of apple juice + 3 cups of pineapple juice = 11

40-11 =29

You need 29.

You need 10 cups of pineapple juice to make 40.

You need 6 cups of apple juice to make 40.
