You have been given a recipe for a completely new fruit drink. The recipe has three
parts. Here is the recipe:
Fruit drink recipe: 2 parts pineapple juice, 3 parts cranberry juice; 5 parts lemon
juice
The mixers need to make 1 quart (4 cups) of juice for the taste test. How much of
each ingredient do they need? Explain your solution.
If I am not mistaken that original recipe makes 1 cup only and you only have to multiply the ingredients x 4?
2 part Pine
3 part Cran
5 parts Lemon
(2/10)+(3/10)+(5/10)=10/10 = 8(0.5cups)
0.5 cups pine
1.5 cups cran
2.0 cups lemon
= 4.0 cups total
2 parts = 2/10
3 parts = 3/10
5 parts = 5/10
(2/10) * 4 = 8/10 = 4/5 cup
(3/10) * 4 = 12/10 = 1 2/10 = 1 1/5 cup
(5/10) * 4 = 20/10 = 2 cups

You are correct that the original recipe makes 1 cup of fruit drink. In order to make 1 quart (4 cups) of the fruit drink for the taste test, you need to multiply the quantities of each ingredient by 4.
According to the original recipe, the fruit drink is made up of 2 parts pineapple juice, 3 parts cranberry juice, and 5 parts lemon juice.
To calculate the amount needed for each ingredient, you can multiply the original amounts by 4.
Pineapple juice:
2 parts x 4 = 8 parts of pineapple juice
Cranberry juice:
3 parts x 4 = 12 parts of cranberry juice
Lemon juice:
5 parts x 4 = 20 parts of lemon juice
So, to make 1 quart of the fruit drink for the taste test, you will need 8 parts of pineapple juice, 12 parts of cranberry juice, and 20 parts of lemon juice.
