Answer 1

If you want to see if Jo’s drink is equivalent you have to make equivalent ratios.

punch recipe : 2 cups : 3 cups

Jo’s : 3 cups : 4 cups

Let’s make the pineapple juice each 1 cup

punch recipe: 1 cup : cups?

Jo’s : 1 cup : cups?

we have to divide in order for this to work! since we divided 2 cups by 2 we divide 3.

punch recipe : 1 cup : 1.5

do the same thing for Jo’s. We divided 3 cups by 3 we divide 4 cups by 3 now.

jo’s recipe : 1 cup : 1.3

compare 1.5 is bigger than Jo’s recipe hers is not equivalen.

Answer 2

we can see that Amount of pineapple juice is more in Jo's drink And Amount of Orange juice is less in Jo'drink .

Explanation:

In Recipe for tropical punch

The Number of cups of pineapple juice = 2.

The Number of cups of orange juice = 3.

Thus , Total number of cub of juice = 2+3

= 5 cups.

So, % of pineapple in tropical punch
`= (2)/(5)* 100`

`=40\%`

So, % of orange juice in tropical punch
`= (3)/(5)* 100`

`=60\%`

In Jo's drink

The Number of cups of pineapple juice = 3.

The Number of cups of orange juice = 4.

Thus Total number of cub of juice = 3+4 = 7 cups.

So, % of pineapple in Jo's drink
`= (3)/(7)* 100`

`=42.85\%`

So, % of orange juice Jo's drink
`= (4)/(7)* 100`

`=57.14\%`

Thus we can see that Amount of pineapple juice is more in Jo's drink And Amount of Orange juice is less in Jo'drink .
