Question

To make Diane's special punch it take 4 cups of juice for every 7 cups of Lime soda. How much juice will be needed if we have 21 cups of soda? Using J for juice and S for soda, how will the equation look?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cups of J for every 7 cups of soda  4:7

21 cups of soda will take 12 cups of J

If you take the 7 and multiply by 3 you get the 21.

So you will need to multiply the 4 by the 3 to get the 12. You need to keep everything in proportion.

4:7   same as 12:21
