A recipe for strawberry punch calls for quart (qt) of ginger ale and qt of strawberry soda.

a) How much liquid is needed?
b) If the recipe is doubled, how much liquid is needed?
c) If the recipe is halved, how much liquid is needed?

a) 1 qt. + 1 qt. = 2 qts.

b) 2 * 2 = ?

c) 2 / 2 = ?

1qt+1qy=2

2*2=4
2/2=1

To answer the questions, we need to calculate the total liquid needed for each scenario.

a) To find out how much liquid is needed for the original recipe, we add the amount of ginger ale and strawberry soda:

Original recipe: 1 qt of ginger ale + 1 qt of strawberry soda = 2 qts of liquid

b) To calculate how much liquid is needed for double the recipe, we multiply the amounts by 2:

Double recipe: 2 qts of ginger ale * 2 = 4 qts of ginger ale
Double recipe: 2 qts of strawberry soda * 2 = 4 qts of strawberry soda

Total liquid for the double recipe: 4 qts of ginger ale + 4 qts of strawberry soda = 8 qts of liquid

c) To determine the amount of liquid needed for the halved recipe, we divide the original amounts by 2:

Half recipe: 1 qt of ginger ale / 2 = 0.5 qt (or 1/2 qt) of ginger ale
Half recipe: 1 qt of strawberry soda / 2 = 0.5 qt (or 1/2 qt) of strawberry soda

Total liquid for the half recipe: 0.5 qt of ginger ale + 0.5 qt of strawberry soda = 1 qt of liquid

Therefore:
a) The original recipe requires 2 quarts of liquid.
b) If the recipe is doubled, 8 quarts of liquid are needed.
c) If the recipe is halved, 1 quart of liquid is needed.
