cups of pomegranate juice
According to the table, for every 5 cups of orange juice, Azeriah adds 3 cups of pomegranate juice.
To find out how many cups of pomegranate juice she should add to 25 cups of orange juice, we can set up a proportion:
(5 cups of orange juice) / (3 cups of pomegranate juice) = (25 cups of orange juice) / x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5x = 3 * 25
5x = 75
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 15
So, Azeriah should add 15 cups of pomegranate juice to 25 cups of orange juice.
