Answer provided by our tutors
apple juice = 16 cups
apple juice : orange juice = 4 : 5
16 : orange juice = 4 : 5
orange juice = (16*5)/4
orange juice = 20 cups
orange juice : fruit punch = 10 : 2
20 : fruit punch = 10 : 2
fruit punch = (2*20)/10
fruit punch = 4 cups
in total there are: 16 + 20 + 4 = 40 cups of juice.
