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.
Example Fruit Punch Recipe:
- 1 liter of lemonade (4 containers of 250 ml each)
- 2 liters of pineapple juice (4 containers of 500 ml each)
- 2 liters of cranberry juice (4 containers of 500 ml each)
To determine the capacity needed for each juice, we can use the formula:
capacity = desired amount / amount per container
For example, to get 1 liter of lemonade, we need:
capacity = 1000 / 250 = 4 containers of 250 ml each
Similarly, for 2 liters of pineapple juice and 2 liters of cranberry juice, we need:
capacity = 2000 / 500 = 4 containers of 500 ml each
Therefore, the total capacity needed for each juice is:
- Lemonade: 4 containers of 250 ml each
- Pineapple juice: 4 containers of 500 ml each
- Cranberry juice: 4 containers of 500 ml each
Total capacity = (4 x 250 ml) + (4 x 500 ml) + (4 x 500 ml) = 5000 ml = 5 liters
Note: You can adjust the recipe and quantities based on personal preference and taste!
