Answer 1

You need to find 0.2 of 0.5 quarts.

Multiply:

0.2 * 0.5 = 0.1

Answer 2

To find out how much grape juice Keisha will use for the fruit punch, we need to multiply the amount of grape juice in the bottle (0.5 quarts) by the fraction representing the proportion she will use (0.2).

So, the calculation would be:

0.5 quarts * 0.2 = 0.1 quarts

Therefore, Keisha will use 0.1 quarts of grape juice for the fruit punch. Hence, the correct answer is c. 0.1.
