A punch recipe calls for
cups of pineapple juice per serving. Julie is making

servings.

Which equation shows the amount of pineapple juice she will need?


To determine the total amount of pineapple juice Julie will need for her punch, you can multiply the number of servings by the amount of pineapple juice required per serving.

Let:
- \( p \) be the number of cups of pineapple juice per serving,
- \( s \) be the number of servings Julie is making.

The equation that shows the total amount of pineapple juice Julie will need is:

\[
\text{Total Pineapple Juice} = p \times s
\]

So the equation is:
\[
p \times s = \text{Total Pineapple Juice}
\]

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:
1. If each serving requires 2 cups of pineapple juice and Julie is making 5 servings, how much pineapple juice does she need?
2. If Julie needs 15 cups of pineapple juice and each serving requires 3 cups, how many servings is she making?
3. What if Julie wanted to reduce the recipe by half? How would you modify the equation?
4. If the amount of juice per serving doubles, how does that affect the total?
5. How would you write an equation if she used a mixture of two different juices for the punch?

**Tip:** Always check if the units (cups, liters, etc.) are consistent in your recipe calculations to avoid errors.
