   Parts are just ratios. You could take the above recipe and look at it this way:

   7.5 cups OJ
   2.4 cups GJ
   2.4 cups TJ
   4.8 cups MJ
   2 cups PJ

   Then just divide those numbers to determine smaller quantities, like this:

   7.5 cups / 2 = 3.75 cups
   2.4 cups / 2 = 1.2 cups, and so on.

   One cup is approximately 240 mL (in the United States).
   So you could say you need 3 cups of orange juice,
   1 cup grapefruit, 1 cup tomato, 2 cups mango and like ¾ cup of pomegranate juice.
   In parts, 3:1:1:2:¾.

   4 parts oarnge juice
   1 part grapefruit
   1 part tomato
   3 parts mango
   1 part pomegran

   this is rounded though, using parts will not be accurate unless the parts are perfectly divisable by the total.

   your total ml’s are 1910 and none of the amounts evenly divide into that figure so going on the rounded figures, you will end up with more of some and less of others.

   Add all your ingredients together to get the total. Then divide the individual ingredient amount by the total amount to get a %

   OJ (750/1910) 40%
   grapefruit (240/1910) 12.5%
   tomato (240/1910) 12.5%
   Mango (480/1910) 25%
   pomegranate (200/1910) 10%

   Now that you know your percentages mutiply the numbers by something easy like 2
   8 parts OJ
   2.5 parts grapefruit
   2.5 parts Tomato
   5 parts Mango
   2 parts pomegranate
