Question

Nancy needs 2 oranges to make a glass of orange juice. If Nancy has 68 oranges, then how many glasses of orange juice can she make?

• A. 34
• B. 54
• C. 44
• D. 24

Answer 1

The correct option is A 34

Number of oranges used to make one glass of orange juice = 2
Number of oranges = 68
Number of glasses of orange juice that can be made using 68 oranges = ?

We calculate this by dividing 68 by 2.

$$\begin{array}{c}34\\ 268\\ -\underset{–}{6}2\\ 08\\ -\underset{–}{8}\\ 0\end{array}$$Thus, 68 ÷ 2 = 34.

$\therefore$ 34 glasses of orange juice can be made using 68 oranges.
