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.
To create 5 liters of fruit punch, we can use the following combination of juices:
- 2 containers of orange juice (500 ml/container) = 1000 ml
- 1 container of grape juice (250 ml/container) = 250 ml
- 2 containers of pineapple juice (500 ml/container) = 1000 ml
Total capacity = 1000 ml + 250 ml + 1000 ml
Total capacity = 2250 ml
Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 ml, we need to convert the total capacity to liters:
2250 ml รท 1000 = 2.25 liters
To reach a total capacity of 5 liters, we need to add:
5 liters - 2.25 liters = 2.75 liters
We can add 5 containers of cranberry juice (500 ml/container) to reach a total of 2.75 liters, as follows:
5 containers x 500 ml = 2500 ml
Finally, our fruit punch recipe for brunch consists of:
- 2 containers of orange juice
- 1 container of grape juice
- 2 containers of pineapple juice
- 5 containers of cranberry juice
Equation:
(2 x 500) + (1 x 250) + (2 x 500) + (5 x 500) = 5000
Therefore, to create exactly 5 liters of fruit punch, you will need 2 containers of orange juice, 1 container of grape juice, 2 containers of pineapple juice, and 5 containers of cranberry juice.
