Question

PLEASE HELP!!!! Emily is making 2 gallons of punch with 4 parts grape juice to 3 parts pineapple juice to 1 part sparkling cider. How many cups of pineapple juice will Emily need?? Hint (1 gallon = 16 cups)

Answer 1

1 gallon = 16 cups. She is making 2 gallons so needs 32 total cups.

The ratio is 4:3:1

Add the ratios: 4+ 3 + 1 = 8

Divide total cups by total ratio:

32/8 =4

Now multiply that by each portion of the ratio:

Grape juice = 4 x 4 = 16 cups

Pineapple juice = 3x4 = 12 cups

Cider = 1x 4 = 4 cups

She needs 12 cups of pineapple juice.
