To find out how many cups of juice there are per serving, you need to divide the total amount of juice by the number of servings.
The recipe makes 4 servings and calls for 3/4 cup of apple juice and 2/3 cup of cranberry juice.
To calculate the total amount of juice in the recipe:
1. Add the amount of apple juice and cranberry juice:
3/4 cup + 2/3 cup
2. Find a common denominator for 4 and 3, which is 12. The equivalent fractions are:
3/4 cup = 9/12 cup
2/3 cup = 8/12 cup
3. Add the fractions:
9/12 cup + 8/12 cup = 17/12 cup
So, the total amount of juice in the recipe is 17/12 cup.
Now, to determine the amount of juice per serving:
4. Divide the total amount of juice by the number of servings:
17/12 cup ÷ 4 servings
5. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1:
17 ÷ 4 / 12 ÷ 4
= 17/4 / 12/4
= 17/4 ÷ 3
= 17/4 * 1/3
= 17/12
Therefore, there are 17/12 cups of juice per serving in this recipe.
