Tammy is preparing juice for snack time at the day care where she works. To make the juice, Tammy mixes 40 ounces of water with each can of orange juice concentrate. Tammy uses 4 cans of orange juice concentrate and completely fills a 192-ounce dispenser with the juice she makes.
Which equation can you use to find c, how much orange juice concentrate is in each can?
How much orange juice concentrate is in each can?
Write your answer as a whole number or a fraction.
ounces
To find how much orange juice concentrate is in each can, we can set up the equation:
40c = 192
Where c represents the amount of orange juice concentrate in each can.
To solve for c, we can divide both sides of the equation by 40:
c = 192/40
Simplifying the right side:
c = 4.8
So, there is approximately 4.8 ounces of orange juice concentrate in each can of juice concentrate.
