Question

A fruit punch is made by mixing grape juice and apple juice in the ratio of 4 to 2. How many glasses of grape juice and apple juice are needed to make 36 glasses of fruit punch?

Answer 1

24 glasses of grape juice, 12 glasses of apple juice

Explanation:

The tape diagram has 4 parts grape juice and 2 parts apple juice. This is a total of 6 parts.

Use this information to find how many glasses are needed for 1 part.

Now, multiply the number of parts by 6 glasses to find how much grape juice and apple juice is needed for 36 glasses of fruit punch.

The equation to represent 4 parts of grape juice is given below.

The equation to represent 2 parts of apple juice is given below.

So, to make 36 glasses of fruit punch, 24 glasses of grape juice and 12 glasses of apple juice are required.

Answer 2

You would just divide 36 by 4 and 2. So you will need  (4 to 2) an 18 to 9 ratio.
