Each camper gets a 12 cups of juice made of 3 cups concentrate to 5 cups water. how much concentrate and how much water are needed to make juice for 240 campers.

Answer 1

To find out how much concentrate and water are needed to make juice for 240 campers, we need to first determine the ratio of concentrate to water for each cup of juice.

The ratio of concentrate to water is 3:5, which means that for every 3 cups of concentrate, 5 cups of water are needed to make the juice.

Since each camper gets 12 cups of juice, we need to multiply the ratio by 12 to find out how much concentrate and water are needed for each camper.

For each camper:
Concentrate: (3/8) * 12 = 9/2 = 4.5 cups
Water: (5/8) * 12 = 15/2 = 7.5 cups

Now that we know the amount of concentrate and water needed for one camper, we can multiply these amounts by the total number of campers (240) to find the total amount of concentrate and water needed.

Total concentrate: 4.5 * 240 = 1080 cups
Total water: 7.5 * 240 = 1800 cups

Therefore, for 240 campers, we would need 1080 cups of concentrate and 1800 cups of water to make juice.
