Chapter 6.3, Problem 48HP

To determine

To find: the number of cups of each ingredient are needed.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A recipe for fruit punch uses the ingredients shown.

	Fruit punch
900 ML	Cranberry juice
700 Ml	Apple juice
300 ML	Pineapple juice
150 ML	Lemon juice
900 ML	Club soda

Calculation:

Use the conversions,

  $1\text{cup=236}\text{.59}\text{mL}$ .

Convert all the units in to cups.

  $\begin{array}{c}900\text{mL=900}\text{mL }\times \frac{1\text{cup}}{236.59\text{mL}}\\ =\frac{900}{236.59}\text{cup}\\ \approx \text{3}\text{.8}\text{cups}\end{array}$

In the similar manner

Thus the table is as shown below.

mL	Juice	Cups
900 ML	Cranberry juice	3.8
700 Ml	Apple juice	3.0
300 ML	Pineapple juice	1.3
150 ML	Lemon juice	0.6
900 ML	Club soda	3.8
