Given: grape juice : orange juice : pineapple juice = 2 : 3 : 7
2 + 3 + 7 = 12.
So, every 12 ounces of punch contains 2 ounces of grape juice, 3 ounces of orange juice, and 7 ounces of pineapple juice.
This means that 2/12 of the punch consists of grape juice

The bowl contains 156 oz of punch

2/12 of 156 = 1/6 of 156 = (1/6)(156) = 156/6 = 26.

Answer: B

Brent
