Question

what quantity of lime juice would you need to make a double recipe?
tropical island punch
ingredients:
3 1/3 cups pineapple juice
7 cups orange juice
3 cups lemon - lime soda
1 1/2 cups cherry juice
1 2/3 cups lime juice
2 cups lemon juice
write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
____ cups

Explanation:

Step1: Identify lime juice quantity

The original recipe uses \( 1\frac{2}{3} \) cups of lime juice.

Step2: Double the quantity

To double the recipe, multiply the lime juice quantity by 2. First, convert \( 1\frac{2}{3} \) to an improper fraction: \( 1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3} \). Then multiply by 2: \( \frac{5}{3} \times 2=\frac{10}{3} \). Convert back to a mixed number: \( \frac{10}{3}=3\frac{1}{3} \).

Answer:

\( 3\frac{1}{3} \)
