Answer:
48 cups of orange juice, 24 containers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate to make orange juice.
There were 32 more cups of water than concentrate.
Question asked:
How much juice did she make in all ?
She poured the juice in 2 quart containers how many containers could she fill ?
Solution:
Let concentrate used in the juice =
<u>As Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate:</u>
Then water used in the juice =
<u>According to question:</u>
<u>To make orange juice 32 more cups of water used than concentrate is equals to to make orange juice</u>, Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate, we will write this as:-
Subtracting both sides by
Dividing both sides by 4
Concentrate used in the juice = = 8 cups
Water used in the juice = =
Total quantity of juice =8 + 40 = 48 cups
Thus, she made 48 cups of orange juice for her basketball team.
Now, as she poured the juice in 2 quart containers, we have to find number of containers could be filled, we will simply divide total quantity of juice by 2 quart
Number of 2 quart containers = 48 cups 2 = 24 containers
Thus, she can fill 24 containers.
