Question

Nancy needs 2 oranges to make a glass of orange juice. If Nancy has 48 oranges, how many glasses of orange juice can she make?

• A. 24 glasses
• B. 22 glasses
• C. 26 glasses
• D. 27 glasses

Answer 1

The correct option is A 24 glasses

Given: 2 oranges are needed to make one glass of orange juice.

Number of glasses of orange juice that she can make by using 48 oranges = 48 $÷$ 2
$$\begin{array}{c}24\\ 248\\ -\underset{–}{4}2\\ 08\\ -\underset{–}{8}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 48 ÷ 2 = 24.

$\therefore$ 24 glasses of orange juice can be made using 48 oranges.
