Question

A recipe for strawberry punch calls for 3/7 qt of ginger ale and 1/7 qt of strawberry soda. How much liquid is​ needed?
If the recipe is​ doubled, how much is​ needed?
If the recipe is​ halved, how much is​ needed?

Answer 1

Answer:4.7 qt of liquid is needed. If doubled, 8/7 qts of liquid is needed. if halved, 2/7 qts of liquid is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two amounts of liquid to get the total amount of liquid:

1/7 qt + 3/7 qt = 4/7 qt (cannot be simplified further)

To double the recipe, multiply the total liquid amount by 2.

4/7 * 2/1 = 8/7

To half the recipe, multiply the total liquid amount by 1/2.

4/7 * 1/2 = 4/14 --> 2/7
