Question

To make a punch Anna adds 8 ounces of apple juice for every 4 ounces of orange juice if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice which proportion can she use to find the number of ounces of orange juice x she should add to make the punch

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If our ratio is apple juice to orange juice, then the proportion will be

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}$

If we are looking for how much orange juice she needs if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice, then 32 goes on top of a new ratio and x goes on bottom:

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}=\frac{32}{x}$

That's the proportion.  If you need to solve it, cross multiply to get

8x = 128 so

x = 16 ounces of orange juice
