Question

Jordan needs one can of juice to make 24 servings of a punch. How many servings of punch can she make with 1/2 a can of juice?

Answer 1

Compare the two sets of numbers with a ratio. 1 can for 24 servings is to 1/2 can for x servings.

x= # servings from 1/2 can


1/24= (1/2)/x
cross multiply

1 * x= 24 * 1/2

x= 24/2

x= 12 servings


ANSWER: She can make 12 servings from 1/2 can of juice.

Hope this helps! :)
