Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of orange juice to lemon juice is 2:7. For every 7 parts of lemon juice, 2 parts of orange juice are needed. If you have 56 ounces of lemon juice, divide it by 7 to find how many times the basic ratio fits into 56, which is 8 times. Then multiply the 2 parts of orange juice by 8 to find the amount of orange juice needed, which is 16 ounces.
