Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

cranberries, oranges and lemon extracts makes =96 fluid Ounces of mock-tail

i.e cranberries+oranges+lemon extracts=96 fluid Ounces of mock-tail....... (1)

• let fluid ounces of orange=x

• then fluid ounces of cranberry=3x; \\ because it is three times of orange

• and lemon extract is given as 24 ounces.

putting these values in (1), we get

$3x+x+24=96$

$4x+24=96\\4x=96-24\\4x=72\\x=\frac{72}{4}\\ x=18$

fluid Ounces of orange juice was used in all=18
