Question

in a favorite punch mix there are 3 parts orange juice, 2 parts pineapple juice and 1 part ginger ale. How many quarts of each will be in a 30 quart mixture of the punch?

Answer 1

Number of parts of the drinks = 31+1 = 6

In a 30 quart mixture:-

amount of orange juice = 3/6 + 30  =  15 qrts
   ....  ... ...  pineapple    = 2/6 * 30   =  10 qrts
  ....  ......... ginger ale    = 1/6 * 30  =    5 qrts

Answer 2

3parts+2 parts +1 part=6 parts

30 quart divided by 6 parts=5 quarts each part

Multiply each part by 5

3x5=15       15 qt orange

2x5=10       10 qt pineapple

1x5=5           5 qt ginger

          Total 30 qt
