Answer:

85.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she has a dozen watermelons and apples each. Dozen = 12.

If we can get 14 ounces of watermelon juice from 2 watermelons, that means from 12 watermelons we can get 84 ounces.

12/2 = 6

14 x 6 = 84

If we can get 1 ounce of apple juice from 7 apples, that means from 12 apples we can get 11.9 ounces.

12/7 = 1.7

7 x 1.7 = 11.9

So, we are using an equal number of watermelons and apples. We are using 12 apples and 12 watermelons in this real life equation. The fraction would be: 84/11.9.

To solve the percent of how much watermelon juice is being used in the blend, we just need to:

Divide 84 from 11.9:

11.9/84 = 0.141

I am doing this way because I could not get 84/11.9 into a percent without it going over 100%. Next step is to multiply by 100.

0.141 x 100 = 14.1%

Next, subtract 100% from 14.1%.

100% - 14.1% = 85.9%

Therefore, the answer is 85.9%.  I hope this helps.

I rethought this, so if it is asking for a percentage greater than 100, then here is my original answer (which did not make sense to me so i took a different route):

"We know that she has a dozen watermelons and apples each. Dozen = 12.

If we can get 14 ounces of watermelon juice from 2 watermelons, that means from 12 watermelons we can get 84 ounces.

12/2 = 6

14 x 6 = 84

If we can get 1 ounce of apple juice from 7 apples, that means from 12 apples we can get 11.9 ounces.

12/7 = 1.7

7 x 1.7 = 11.9

So, we are using an equal number of watermelons and apples. We are using 12 apples and 12 watermelons in this real life equation. The fraction would be: 84/11.9.

To solve the percent of how much watermelon juice is being used in the blend, we just need to:

Divide 84 from 11.9:

84/11.9 = 7.05

Multiply by 100:

7.05 x 100 = 705

Therefore, the answer is 705%. I have never seen a percentage over 100, but I hope this helps. "
