Step-by-step explanation:

Jane’s favorite fruit punch consists of pear, pineapple, and plum juices in the ratio 5:2:3.

The total proportion is :

The ratio of plum juice is 3

6 cups / 3 = 2 cups per portion

Since 2 equals 2/3 of 3,

The quantity of pineapple juice = 2/3 of the plum juice

2/3 x 6 cups = 4 cups

Since 5 equals 5/3 of 3, the amount of pear juice amount 5/3 of the plum juuce

5/3 x 6 cups = 10 cups

So, the number of cups are

Pear juice = 10 cups

Pineapple juice = 4 cups

Plum juice 6 cups

Total=( 10 + 4 + 6) = 20 cups of punch

c) How many cups of pear juice should she use to make the quantity of punch from part (b)?

10 cups of pear juice can be used to make the quantity of punch in part b
