Question

In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If 3/4 of the drink is apple juice and 1/10 is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3\ :\ 15\ :\ 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a fruit punch drink,

• $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of the drink is apple juice;
• $\dfrac{1}{10}$ of the drink is orange juice;
• $1-\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{20}{20}-\dfrac{15}{20}-\dfrac{2}{20}=\dfrac{3}{20}$ of the drink is cranberry juice.

Hence, ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice is

$\dfrac{3}{20}\ :\ \dfrac{3}{4}\ :\ \dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{3}{20}\ :\ \dfrac{15}{20}\ :\ \dfrac{2}{20}=3\ :\ 15\ :\ 2$
