Respuesta :

12 =3/1x4/1 it my answer that I came up with! Hope it helps! 

Answer:

12 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Jesse is making a pitcher of fruit smoothies that contain 3 cups of orange juice.

Jesse measuring cup only holds 1/4 cup.

One time he can measure 1/4 of cup

Let us consider he measure n time of 1/4

Total measure of orange juice is [tex]\dfrac{n}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{n}{4}[/tex] must be equal to 3 cups of orange juice.

[tex]\dfrac{n}{4}=3[/tex]

[tex]n=12[/tex]

Hence, Jesse measures 12 times of cup.
