Answer 2

Explanation:

To make fruit punch kelli adds 8 ounces of pineapple juice for every 8 ounces of orange juice.

Let x represent the number of pineapple juice needed to make the fruit punch if she uses 32 ounces of orange juice. Therefore,

If 8 ounces of pineapple juice = 8 ounces of orange juice, then

x ounces of pineapple juice = 32 ounces of orange juice.

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x × 8 = 32 × 8

8x = 256

x = 256/8 = 32

The proportion is 1 : 1
