Janine is having seven friends over for breakfast. Of the eight people who will eating breakfast, six like orange juice bestm and two prefer grapefruit juice. Both kinds of juice cost $2.89 for a gallon, $2.09 for a quart, and $1.29 for a pint. How many of each size container of each type of juice should Janine buy? Explain, please.
how much does each drink?
if 8 oz ea
6 * 8 oz = 48 oz OJ
2 * 8 oz = 16 oz GF
so, 1 gal OJ for $2.89 and have left over
or 1 gt and 1 pt = 48 oz for $3.38 more money, no extra
1 pint GF for 1.29 with no extra
this what you need?
Well... I actually estimated that each person gets 1 pint each. Sorry for not including that... :]
A pint is a lot of orange juice to drink at breakfast.
I suggest you plan on 8 oz. as helper suggested.
Ah... I see... Thank you for the suggestion Ms. Sue.
You're welcome.

To determine the number of each size container of each type of juice Janine should buy, we need to consider the preferences of her friends and the sizes of the containers available. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Identify the number of people who prefer each type of juice:
- There are six people who like orange juice.
- There are two people who prefer grapefruit juice.
2. Calculate the total amount of juice needed for each type:
- For orange juice: 6 people x (1 gallon or 4 quarts or 8 pints) = 6 gallons or 24 quarts or 48 pints
- For grapefruit juice: 2 people x (1 gallon or 4 quarts or 8 pints) = 2 gallons or 8 quarts or 16 pints
3. Determine the number of each size container needed:
- Since the cost is given for each container size (gallon, quart, and pint), let's consider buying the most cost-effective option.
- If we choose to buy gallons, we divide the total amount needed by the equivalent quantity in gallons.
- If we choose to buy quarts, we divide the total amount needed by the equivalent quantity in quarts.
- If we choose to buy pints, we divide the total amount needed by the equivalent quantity in pints.
For orange juice:
- Gallons: 6 gallons ÷ 1 gallon = 6 gallons
- Quarts: 24 quarts ÷ 4 quarts = 6 quarts
- Pints: 48 pints ÷ 8 pints = 6 pints
For grapefruit juice:
- Gallons: 2 gallons ÷ 1 gallon = 2 gallons
- Quarts: 8 quarts ÷ 4 quarts = 2 quarts
- Pints: 16 pints ÷ 8 pints = 2 pints
Therefore, Janine should buy:
- 6 gallons of orange juice
- 2 gallons of grapefruit juice
- 6 quarts of orange juice
- 2 quarts of grapefruit juice
- 6 pints of orange juice
- 2 pints of grapefruit juice
By following these calculations, Janine will cater to the preferences of her friends and ensure everyone has enough juice for breakfast.
