Answer 1

The ratio would be 3:8

Answer 2

Since we know there are 3 quarts of pineapple juice and 2 gallons of orange juice the first thing you need to do is convert the units of the orange juice to quarts.
If there are 4 quarts in a gallon and we have 2 gallons then we have 8 quarts (4*2)
So 3 quarts of pineapple juice to 8 quarts of orange juice.
The ratio would be 3:8
