Hey question,?The recipe two parts lemonade to three parts ginger ale. If she use 6 quarts of ginger ale and the corresponding amount of lemon juice,how many gallons of punch will she have?

Answer 1

2 to 3

equals

x / 6

so she needs 4 qts of lemonade

and will make 10 quarts of punch which is 10/4 = 2 and 1/2 gallons

Answer 2

The ratio of lemonade to ginger ale is 2:3

Note that the 2 part lemonade makes up 2/5 = 40% of the mixture.

Therefore 6 quarts of ginger ale is 100% - 40% of the total mixture = 60% making the total amount of punch = 6/0.6 = 10 quarts.

There are 4 quarts in every gallon, so 10 quarts = 10/4 = 2 1/2 or 2.5 gallons of punch.

Answer 3

Hi there! Let's solve this together.

It looks like our punch recipe requires a few things:

Lemonade (2 parts)

Ginger ale (3 parts)

In this case parts can equal any amount!

If we had 2 cups of lemonade we would need 3 cups of ginger ale

if we had 2 liters of lemonade we need 3 liters of ginger ale

They are trying to confuse us!

Now lets solve our recipe:

This time instead of cups, liters or parts, we need quarts.

To make one batch of punch she would need:

2 quarts of lemonade

3 quarts of ginger ale

But it looks like she has double the amount of ginger ale!

So lets double both numbers.

2x2= 4 quarts of lemonade

3x2= 6 quarts of ginger ale

10 quarts of punch total but we are looking for gallons so we need to do one more step.

There are 4 quarts in every gallon, so we need to divide our 10 quarts by 4!

10/4= 2 1/2 gallons

She will be able to make 2 1/2 or 2.5 gallons.
