$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} minutes&\stackrel{juice}{cups}\\ \cline{1-2} 15&3\frac{1}{4}\\\\ x&32\frac{1}{2} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{3\frac{1}{4}}{32\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{3\cdot 4+1}{4}}{\frac{32\cdot 2+1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{15}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{65}{2}}$
