2/3 (two-thirds) because for 3 gallons you use 2 cups so you divide by three to get one gallon and 2 divided by 3 is two-thirds.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

A punch recipe requires 2 cups of cranberry juice to make 3 gallons.

Let x cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.

We can set up the proportion like -

[tex]\frac{2}{3} =\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

=> [tex]3x=2[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] cups of cranberry juice is needed for one gallon of punch.
