1 quart is 32 FLUID OUNCES

Brendan made of drink.

c, how much cola
j, how much cherry juice

If you understand that much then you are all set. Just solve.

Note carefully, c and j are in FLUID OUNCES. Your problem description gives 16 fluid ounces to be 1 CAN of cola, and the question asks for how many cans of cola.
