Question

I'm blooped.
Fruit juice makes up 2/3 of the liquid ingredients in Alonzo's punch recipe. Estimate how many gallons are needed to make 8 1/2 gallons of punch. Thanks

Answer 1

i would use ratio
fruit juice:liquid = 2/3
let amount of fruit juice = x ; amount of liquid made 8 1/2 = 17/2
x/(17/2) = 2/3
solve for x

Answer 2

17/3 = 5 2/3 gal
