Question

You need 2 jugs of orange juice for every 3 batches of punch you make. How many jugs of orange juice do you need if you make 24 batches of punch? 16​

Answer 1

Answer: 16 Jugs of orange juice

Explanation:

Let

J = Jugs of orange juice

P = Batches of punch

2J = 3P

Therefore to find what 1 P equals divide both sides by 3 giving:

2/3 J = 1P

Using this ratio, take it and apply it to the given question:

2/3 J = 1P

therefore:

24 x 2/3 = Needed J

= 16J
