Four large oranges are squeezed to make six glasses of juice. How much juice can be made from six oranges.
1 1/2 times as many.
(1 1/2) x 6 = ?
To determine how much juice can be made from six oranges, we need to establish a ratio based on the information given.
First, let's calculate the ratio of oranges to glasses of juice. We know that four large oranges produce six glasses of juice. So, the ratio of oranges to glasses is 4:6.
Now, let's use this ratio to determine how much juice can be made from six oranges. Since we have a 4:6 ratio, we can set up a proportion:
4 oranges / 6 glasses = 6 oranges / x glasses
Cross multiplying gives us:
4x = 6 * 6
Simplifying further gives us:
4x = 36
Dividing both sides by 4, we find:
x = 9
Therefore, six oranges can produce nine glasses of juice.
