You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1/2 cup of juice for each of 240 campers is 120 cups with the
proportions 2 parts concentrate to 3 parts water for mix A.
Each cup contains 2%2F%282+%2B+3%29%29+=+2%2F5 cups concentrate
and 3%2F%282+%2B3%29+=+3%2F5 cups water
for 120 cups:
2%2F5+%2A+120+=+48 cups concentrate
and
3%2F5+%2A+120+=+72 cups water
-------------------------
Mix B has 1 part concentrate to 4 parts water
each cup has 1%2F%281+%2B+4%29+=+1%2F5 cup concentrate and
4%2F%281+%2B+4%29+=+4%2F5 cup water
For 120 cups that is
1%2F5+%2A+120+=+24 cups concentrate
and
4%2F5+%2A+120+=+96 cups water
