Design your own fruit punch recipe for brunch! Your recipe must create
exactly 5 liters of punch and include at least three of the juices. Also be sure
to include how many containers of each juice you need. Show your work by
writing equations that show how you determined the capacity.
One possible fruit punch recipe could be:
- 1000 ml of orange juice (2 containers)
- 750 ml of grape juice (3 containers)
- 750 ml of pineapple juice (1.5 containers)
- 750 ml of cranberry juice (1.5 containers)
- 750 ml of water (3 containers)
- 500 ml of lemonade (2 containers)
To determine the number of containers needed for each juice, we can use the following equation:
number of containers = total volume needed / volume per container
For example, for orange juice:
number of containers = 10000 ml / 500 ml = 20 containers
Since each container of orange juice has 500 ml, we need 20 containers to get to the total volume of 10000 ml (5 liters).
Using this equation for each juice, we can determine the number of containers needed for each:
- Orange juice: 2 containers (1000 ml)
- Grape juice: 3 containers (750 ml x 3 = 2250 ml)
- Pineapple juice: 1.5 containers (500 ml x 1.5 = 750 ml)
- Cranberry juice: 1.5 containers (500 ml x 1.5 = 750 ml)
- Water: 3 containers (1500 ml)
- Lemonade: 2 containers (500 ml x 2 = 1000 ml)
We can check that the total volume is indeed 5000 ml by adding the volumes of each juice:
1000 ml + 2250 ml + 750 ml + 750 ml + 1500 ml + 1000 ml = 5000 ml (5 liters)
