Question

A fruit punch recipe that serves 20 people calls for 32 fluid ounces of pineapple juice and 48 fluid ounces of orange juice. Monique only has 20 fluid ounces of pineapple juice. How much orange juice does she need to maintain the ratio of pineapple juice to orange juice?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so the ratio of the recipe is 32/48 of pineapple juice and orange juice.

that can be simplified to the ratio of 2/3.

now, she has only 20 floz of pineapple juice.

20/x = 2/3

60/x = 2

60 = 2x

x = 60/2 = 30

she needs 30 floz of orange juice with the 20 floz of pineapple juice to maintain the prescribed ratio for fruit punch.
