Question

48 ounces of juice are required to make 3 gallons of punch. How many ounces of juice are required to make 9 gallons of punch?

Answer 1

If we need 48 onces of juice for making 3 gallons of punch we can write our problem like:

$\begin{gathered} 48\to3 \\ x\to9 \end{gathered}$

where x is the juice needed to made 9 gallons of punch, so we can made a rulo of 3 to find x

$x=\frac{48\cdot9}{3}=144$

So we need 144 ounces of juice to made 9 gallons of punch
