Given the statement:
David uses 1/2 cup of apple juice for every 1/4 cup of cranberry juice to make a fruit drink.
Determine the number of cups of apple juice if David uses 1 cup of cranberry juice.
Solution:
In order to determine the number of cups of apple juice, we simply divide first ¼ by 1, hence we know that the answer is 4. Now we multiply 4 by ½ since for every ¼ of cranberry juice made, ½ apply juice is used.
= ½ (4)
= 2
The given conditions is a matter of ratio and proportionality, 1:2 whereas ¼ cup cranberry juice is equal to ½ cup apple juice, then 1 cup of cranberry juice is equal to 2 cups of apple juice
Final answer:
2 cups of Apple Juice
