Question

A serving size for pineapple-orange punch is 1/2 cup. Liam needs to make 72 servings of punch. He will use 8 pints of pineapple juice. The rest is orange juice. How many pints of orange juice does he need to make the punch?

Answer 1

Since a serving is 1/2 cup and he needs 72 servings you can multiply 72 by 1/2 and find out that he needs to make 36 cups of punch. Two cups is a pint so he needs (36 / 2) 18 pints of juice. He already has the 8 pints of pineapple juice so 18 - 8 leaves 10 pints of orange juice.
