A recipe for strawberry punch calls for quart 1/5(qt) of ginger ale and 3/5 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)4/5
b)8/5
c)1/6
i think I tried am I on the right track or no
Looks to me as the liquid is 4/5 qt.
You do the rest.
c) 4/10 = 2/5
1/5qt of ginger ale and3/5qt of swtrawberry soda. how much liquid is needed? if the recipe is doubled,how much liquid is needed? if the recipe is halvved, how much liquid is needed?
To find the answer to these questions, we need to perform some calculations based on the given information. Let's break it down step by step:
a) How much liquid is needed?
To find the total amount of liquid needed for the recipe, we need to add the amounts of ginger ale and strawberry soda together.
1/5 qt (ginger ale) + 3/5 qt (strawberry soda)
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 5.
1/5 qt + 3/5 qt = 4/5 qt
Therefore, the total liquid needed for the recipe is 4/5 quart.
b) If the recipe is doubled, how much liquid is needed?
To double the recipe, we need to multiply the amounts of ginger ale and strawberry soda by 2.
Ginger ale: 1/5 qt × 2 = 2/5 qt
Strawberry soda: 3/5 qt × 2 = 6/5 qt
Now, we can add these fractions together to find the total liquid needed:
2/5 qt (ginger ale) + 6/5 qt (strawberry soda) = 8/5 qt
Therefore, if the recipe is doubled, 8/5 quart of liquid is needed.
c) If the recipe is halved, how much liquid is needed?
To halve the recipe, we need to divide the amounts of ginger ale and strawberry soda by 2.
Ginger ale: 1/5 qt ÷ 2 = 1/10 qt
Strawberry soda: 3/5 qt ÷ 2 = 3/10 qt
Now, we can add these fractions together to find the total liquid needed:
1/10 qt (ginger ale) + 3/10 qt (strawberry soda) = 4/10 qt
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
4/10 qt = 2/5 qt
Therefore, if the recipe is halved, 2/5 quart of liquid is needed.
