For a drink recipe, the amount of carrot juice is proportional to the amount of guava juice. This equation represents the proportional relationship between the number of quarts of carrot juice c and guava juice g in a recipe. 3c=4g How many quarts of carrot juice would be used with 1 quart of guava juice?
Q. For a drink recipe, the amount of carrot juice is proportional to the amount of guava juice. This equation represents the proportional relationship between the number of quarts of carrot juice c and guava juice g in a recipe. 3c=4g How many quarts of carrot juice would be used with 1 quart of guava juice?
Understand Proportional Relationship: Understand the given proportional relationship.The equation 3c=4g represents the relationship between the amount of carrot juice (c) and guava juice (g). This means that for every 3 quarts of carrot juice, there are 4 quarts of guava juice.
Set Up Equation for g=1: Set up the equation to solve for c when g is 1 quart.We need to find the value of c when g is 1 quart. So we substitute g with 1 in the equation 3c=4g.c0
Solve for c: Solve for c.Now we solve the equation for c.3c=4c=34c=1.333…
Interpret Result: Interpret the result.Since we cannot have a fraction of a quart in this context, we interpret the result as approximately 1.33 quarts of carrot juice for every quart of guava juice.
