3/4 = x / 340....3 to 4 students = x to 340 students
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(340)
4x = 1020
x = 1020/4
x = 255 <==
or this way.....
3 out of 4 students.....3/4 = 75%
so 75% of 340 = 0.75(340) = 255 <=

Since a serving is 1/2 cup and he needs 72 servings you can multiply 72 by 1/2 and find out that he needs to make 36 cups of punch. Two cups is a pint so he needs (36 / 2) 18 pints of juice. He already has the 8 pints of pineapple juice so 18 - 8 leaves 10 pints of orange juice.
