Yesterday in math class we did the orange juice problem. In this unit we have been using fractions, ratios, differences, and percents and these played a big part in this problem.
One thing we had to do in the problem is found out how many bathches we would need to make for 240 campers if each camper got 1/2 glass. For one off the problems there were 2 cups of concentrate and 3 cups of water and we found that to make 120 cups we would need t make 24 batches. We found this by doing 2 and 3 makes 5 and 5x24 =120. Another thing we had to do with this problem is if the ratio is 5 (cups of concentrate) to 9 (cups of water) and we need to find what fraction of the mix is water it would be 9/14 not 9/5. For mix A to find the cups of water and concentrate you multiply 2 (concentrate) by 24 which equals 48. Then you multiply 3 (water) by 24 again and get 72. This just scratches the surface of this problem and hopefully it helped.
