128 FLUID OUNCES = 1 Gallon 

              PARTS, FL. OZ.         BATCH, 5*128=640 FL. OZ.

strawbrr          3
bluebrr           2
lime juice        2
simple syr.       3
ice               6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL            16                               640

Is this enough that you can figure out the rest?

              PARTS, FL. OZ.         BATCH, 5*128=640 FL. OZ.

strawbrr          3                             120
bluebrr           2                              80
lime juice        2                              80
simple syr.       3                             120
ice               6                             240
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL            16                             640

Find each quantity to use in the batch with %28%28part%29%2F16%29640.

Also, recheck sum of the quantities.
120%2B80%2B80%2B120%2B240=640
