Question

Taylor is making punch. She mixes 1 gallon of orange juice, 3 quarts of canberry juice, 5 pints of apple juice, and 8 ounces of lemon juice in a large pitcher. Find the ratio of the following amounts:
a) orange juice to apple juice
b) cranberry juice to apple juice
c) apple juice to lemon juice
d) cranberry juice to orange juice
e) lemon juice to orange juice

PLEASE HELP ME....

Answer 1

I would suggest converting gallon of orange juice, quarts of cranberry juice, and all the rest into a common unit and then work from there. To begin, maybe decide you want them all in pints. So 1 gallon = 8 pints. Then 3 quarts = 6 pints and so forth. Once you have that, the ratio of orange to cranberry is 8:6. And you can repeat that for the others. Ratios are only valid if all the parts are measured in common units, for the same reason we don't really add fractions with different denominators before giving them a common denominator. Does that make any sense?

Also, that's a lot of punch...
