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 will contain the following juices:
- 1 liter of orange juice (2 containers of 500 milliliters each)
- 2 liters of pineapple juice (4 containers of 500 milliliters each)
- 1 liter of grape juice (4 containers of 250 milliliters each)
- 1 liter of cranberry juice (2 containers of 500 milliliters each)
To determine the capacity needed, I used the following equation:
Capacity = Volume x Number of Containers
For example, to determine the capacity needed for the orange juice, I multiplied the volume (500 milliliters) by the number of containers (2):
Capacity = 500 ml x 2 = 1000 ml or 1 liter
I did this for each juice to make sure I had enough to make 5 liters of punch.
