Question

A punch recipe requires 2 cups of cranberry juice to make 3 gallons. Using the same recipe what is the amount of cranberry juice needed for 1 gallon of punch?

Answer 1

2/3 (two-thirds) because for 3 gallons you use 2 cups so you divide by three to get one gallon and 2 divided by 3 is two-thirds.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

A punch recipe requires 2 cups of cranberry juice to make 3 gallons.

Let x cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.

We can set up the proportion like -

$\frac{2}{3} =\frac{x}{1}$

=> $3x=2$

$x=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.
