Answer 1

Answer:

8 cups of green apple juice and 4 cups of carrot juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cups carrot juice for every 4 cups green apple juice

4 carrot --> 8 green apple

4+8= 12 cups

Answer 2

Mixing green apple juice and carrot juice is an illustration of equivalent ratios.

Macy needs 4 cups of carrot juice, and 8 cups of green apple juice to make 12 cups of fruit punch

The ratio is given as:

$Carrot : Green\ Apple = 2 : 4$

Express the proportion of each fruit juice as a fraction

$Carrot = \frac{2}{2+ 4}$

$Carrot = \frac{2}{6}$

Reduce fraction

$Carrot = \frac{1}{3}$

Similarly,

$Green\ Apple = \frac{4}{2+ 4}$

$Green\ Apple = \frac{4}{6}$

Reduce fraction

$Green\ Apple = \frac{2}{3}$

To make 12 cups of fruit punch, the amount of each fruit juice needed is:

$Carrot = \frac{1}{3} \times 12$

$Carrot = 4$

$Green\ Apple = \frac{2}{3} \times 12$

$Green\ Apple = 8$

Hence, Macy needs 4 cups of carrot juice, and 8 cups of green apple juice to make 12 cups of fruit punch
