Question

A recipe for strawberry punch calls for 6/7 qt of ginger ale and 2/7 qt of strawberry soda. How much liquid is​ needed? If the recipe is​ doubled, how much is​ needed? If the recipe is​ halved, how much is​ needed?

Answers

  1. The answers in each case are;
    1) 8/7 qt
    2)  16/7 qt
    3)  4/7 qt

    Volume of liquid needed?

    Now we are to find the total volume of liquid that is needed and we can do that as follows;
    Volume of the ginger ale + volume of the strawberry soda
    = 6/7 + 2/7 = 8/7 qt
    If the recipe is doubled we have;
    2(6/7) + 2(2/7) = 12/7 + 4/7 = 16/7 qt
    If the recipe is halved we have;
    1/2(6/7) + 1/2(2/7) = 3/7 + 1/7 = 4/7 qt
