Understand given ratio: To find the correct statements, we need to understand the ratio given in the recipe, which is 3 cups of orange juice to 2 cups of cranberry juice.
Evaluate Statement A: Statement A suggests that there are 3 cups of orange juice for every 5 cups of punch. This can't be true because if we have 3 cups of orange juice and 2 cups of cranberry juice, that makes 5 cups of punch in total, not 5 cups of punch for every 3 cups of orange juice.
Evaluate Statement B: Statement B says the ratio of cranberry juice to orange juice is 2 to 3. This is correct because for every 2 cups of cranberry juice, there are 3 cups of orange juice.
Evaluate Statement C: Statement C claims the ratio of orange juice to cranberry juice is 2:1. This is incorrect because the given ratio is 3 cups of orange juice to 2 cups of cranberry juice, not 2 cups of orange juice to 1 cup of cranberry juice.
