Answer 2

4+8+12 = 24 cups

108/24 = 4.5
so multiply each number of cups by 6 to get 108 cups

Note, a serving is evidently not a cup because 24 cups is 18 servings. I do not know if this is an intentional confusion or a typo.

Answer 3

I mean multiply each number of cups by 4.5

Answer 4

4 * 4.5 = 18 pineapple
8 * 4.5 = 36 orange
12 * 4.5 = 54 seltzer

Answer 5

For every cup of seltzer you use, how
much orange juice do you use?

Answer 6

Divide 108 and 24.
(4+8+12=24)

Your answer is 4.5.
4.5x4=18
4.5x8=36
4.5x12=54

18 cups of pineapple+36 cups of orange+54 cups of seltzer.
