Question

A recipe for fruit punch requires 1 1/2 quarts of orange juice to make 6 quarts of punch. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ quarts of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Quarts of orange juice required for 6 quarts of punch = $1\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{2}$

∴ Quarts of orange juice required for 1 quart of punch = $\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{6}=\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{4}$ quarts of orange juice are required for one quart of punch.
