Question

The ratio of cups of orange juice concentrate to cups of water in punch is 1:3 if James made 32 cups of punch how many cups of orange juice did he need

Answer 1

Answer:

We have 8 cups of orange juice

Step-by-step explanation:

orange juice:  water:  total

1                     : 3         : 4

Multiply everything by x

1x                 3x             4x

We have 32 cups total

4x = 32

Divide each sice by 4

4x/4 = 32/4

x = 8

We have 8 cups of orange juice

3*8 = 24

We have 24 cups of water
