Question

Bob needs to mix 2 cups of orange juice concentrate with 3.5 cups of water to make orange juice. Bob has 6 cups of concentrate. How much orange juice can he make

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much orange juice can Bob make, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 cups of orange juice concentrate ... 1 orange juice
6 cups of orange juice concentrate ... x = ?

2 * x = 1 * 6
2 * x = 6  <-- now divide 2 to the other side
x = 6/2
x = 3

The correct result would be 3.
