If Gwen's favorite summer drink is 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer and she starts with a gallon of fruit juice, how many quarts of seltzer will she need?

  • A. 3 quarts
  • B. 4.5 quarts
  • C. 5 quarts
  • D. 6 quarts
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To maintain the ratio of 2 parts fruit juice to 3 parts seltzer, for every 2 parts of fruit juice, Gwen will need 3 parts of seltzer. Since a gallon of fruit juice is equivalent to 4 quarts, she will need 3 quarts of seltzer for every 2 quarts of fruit juice. For 4 quarts of fruit juice, she will require 6 quarts of seltzer. Therefore, Gwen will need 6 quarts of seltzer to make the summer drink for her friends. Choice A (3 quarts) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct ratio. Choice B (4.5 quarts) is incorrect because it is not a whole number and does not align with the ratio provided. Choice C (5 quarts) is incorrect as it does not match the proportional ratio of fruit juice to seltzer required.
