Answer 1

For the Fruit punch

Yasmin uses 4 cups of papaya juice for every 6 cups of pine apple juice

i.e.

$\begin{gathered} 4\text{ cups of Papaya juice required =6 cups of Pineapple} \\ or \\ \text{ 6 cups of Pineapple}=4\text{ cups of Papaya juice required} \\ \text{then for 1 cups of pineapple juice,} \\ 1\text{ cup of Pineapple Juice=}\frac{4}{6}Cups\text{ of Papaya juice} \end{gathered}$

Since, Yasmin has already 24 cups of juice, then for the number of cups of Papaya juice, we multiply the number of Papaya cups reuquire for 1 cup of pineapple juice by 24.

$\begin{gathered} 24\text{ Cups of Pineapple, required =}\frac{4}{6}\times24\text{ Cups of Papaya Juice} \\ \text{Number of Cups of Papaya juice=4}\times4 \\ \text{Number of Cups of Papaya juice=16 Cups} \end{gathered}$

So, for the fruit punch,

16 Cups of Papaya juice needed for 24 cups of Pineapple Juice.

Answer :

16 Cups of Papaya juice
