How did it go from "rope" to "ribbon", therefore, the statement is incorrect. This is a man-made equation that clearly has a mistake. If it was to say, "Will Scott have enough rope?" then the answer will be "YES"

Four large oranges are squeezed to make six glasses of juice. how much juice can be made from six oranges? 7 glasses 8 glasses 9

Lol, this sounds highly inaccurate. I have done orange squeezing myself. I can tell you, it's very disappointing. But for the sake of sayin it, let's do the math!!

Alright, so we know that FOUR large oranges makes SIX glasses of juice. It wants to know haw many glasses can be made when you increase the amount of oranges to SIX.

Well, that's simple. Set up an equation! 4/6=oranges over glasses.
6/x=oranges to unknown glasses.
Well, to solve this, we do exactly as the fractions imply. We divide. We need to know the orange-to-glass-ratio on a SMALLER scale.
So, simply take the denominator, and divide it by the numerator! 6/4=1.5
So, we know it takes 1 orange to make 1.5 glasses of juice now, 1/1.5
So, multiply both sides by 6, since that's how many oranges we have NOW.
1*6=6, 1.5*6=9
As a fraction, it's originally 6/x, but NOW it's 6/9

The answer is 6 oranges makes 9 glasses of juice

~Hope this helps!
