Question

Maria is making a fruit punch. There are 15.75 ounces of orange juice in a container. Maria pours 2.25 ounces of cranberry juice into the container each second. How many ounces of fruit punch are in the container after 9 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

20.25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2.25 ounces of cranberry poured into the container per second. We need to find is how much that is after 9 seconds. (Note: This is different from the 15.75 ounces of orange.) There are many ways to solve this question (e.g If 2.25 is 1, then multiply 2.25 and 9 = 20.25) Now to solve this let's set up fractions; let "x" be the variable;

$\frac{1}{2.25}=\frac{9}{x}$

Apply fraction: if $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm$  then $a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c$ (meaning cross multiply)

$1\cdot \:x=2.25\cdot \:9$

Simplify

• Multiply by 1

$1 x = 2 . 2 5 \cdot 9 \\\\ x = 2 . 2 5 \cdot 9$

• Multiply the numbers

$x = 2 . 2 5 \cdot 9\\\\x=20.25$

Therefore, there are 20.25 ounces of fruit pouch in the container after 9 seconds.
