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.

My Fruit Punch Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of orange juice (2 containers of 500 mL each)
- 1 liter of pineapple juice (2 containers of 500 mL each)
- 1 liter of cranberry juice (2 containers of 500 mL each)
- 1 liter of sparkling water
- 1 cup of sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup of sliced fresh oranges
- 1 cup of sliced fresh pineapples
- 1/2 cup of honey
To make 5 liters of punch, I will need to use a combination of juice containers that add up to 5,000 mL.
orange juice = 2 containers x 500 mL/container = 1000 mL
pineapple juice = 2 containers x 500 mL/container = 1000 mL
cranberry juice = 2 containers x 500 mL/container = 1000 mL
sparkling water = 2 containers x 1000 mL/container = 2000 mL
Total capacity = 1000 mL + 1000 mL + 1000 mL + 2000 mL = 5000 mL
To make the punch, I will mix the juices and honey together in a large punch bowl. Then, I will add the sliced fruits and top it off with sparkling water. Stir well and serve chilled. Enjoy!
To create 5 liters of punch (5000 milliliters), we need to use at least three of the given juices. Here's one combination:
1. 2 containers of lemonade (2 x 250 ml = 500 ml)
2. 3 containers of orange juice (3 x 500 ml = 1500 ml)
3. 4 containers of pineapple juice (4 x 500 ml = 2000 ml)
4. 4 containers of cranberry juice (4 x 500 ml = 2000 ml)
Total volume of punch: 500 ml + 1500 ml + 2000 ml + 2000 ml = 5000 ml (5 liters)
Equations to show the capacity:
1. 2 * 250 ml (lemonade) = 500 ml
2. 3 * 500 ml (orange juice) = 1500 ml
3. 4 * 500 ml (pineapple juice) = 2000 ml
4. 4 * 500 ml (cranberry juice) = 2000 ml
Total: 500 ml + 1500 ml + 2000 ml + 2000 ml = 5000 ml (5 liters)
So, the fruit punch recipe for brunch would be: 2 containers of lemonade, 3 containers of orange juice, 4 containers of pineapple juice, and 4 containers of cranberry juice.
