To match the steps with the correct questions and answers:

1. **Your friend mixed 36 ounces of blue raspberry drink with 32 ounces of red cherry drink. How many ounces of blue raspberry drink should be added to make the mixture accurate?**  
   - **Answer: C. 12**  
   The correct ratio is 12:8 (blue raspberry to red cherry), so the current mix is too high in blue raspberry. To adjust, you would need to add 12 ounces more.

2. **Your mixture of 48 ounces of blue raspberry drink with 32 ounces of red cherry drink was the correct ratio! How many servings did you make?**  
   - **Answer: B. 4**  
   Each serving is 20 ounces, so 48 + 32 = 80 ounces; 80 ÷ 20 = 4 servings.

3. **What could you do to fix the batch that does not match the recipe perfectly?**  
   - **Answer: A. Add more of one of the ingredients to bring it to the right ratio to complete the mixture.**  
   You can adjust the quantities of blue raspberry or red cherry to fix the mix and achieve the correct ratio.

4. **We know that 12 ounces of blue raspberry drink and 8 ounces of red cherry drink make one 20 ounce serving. How many servings would we need to make 100 ounces?**  
   - **Answer: D. 5**  
   Each serving is 20 ounces, so 100 ÷ 20 = 5 servings.
