A recipe for fruit punch calls for 5 cups of apple juice for every 3 cups of cranberry juice, and you want to make 40 cups of fruit punch.
How many cups of each juice do you need to make a total of 40 cups of fruit punch?

We see that the juice is added in the ratio of 5 cups apple juice : 3 cups cranberry juice. Altogether, this is 8 cups of juice using addition.

5 cups + 3 cups = 8 total cups

Next, we can divide the total cups of fruit punch you want to make by the number of total cups per ratio added. This tells us that 40 cups will need the ratio of juice added five times.

40 cups fruit punch / 8 cups per ratio = 5 ratios.

Lastly, we can multiply this number of 5 ratios by the amount of each juice to find our answer.

5 cups apple juice * 5 ratios = 25 cups apple juice total

3 cups cranberry juice * 5 ratios = 15 cups cranberry juice total
