12 quarts of sparkling water would you need to mix with 8 quarts of apple juice.
A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.
A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
The recipe needs 3 quarts of sparkling water and 2 quarts of apple juice .
So the ratio in which they are mixed is 3 : 2
We have now 8 quarts of apple juice
let the amount that needs to be mixed is x quarts
Then an equation like this can be made
x : 8 = 3 : 2
or
x/8 = 3/2
x = 12 quarts
Therefore 12 quarts of sparkling water would you need to mix with 8 quarts of apple juice.
