Question

A beverage is made by mixing 2 parts of water with 3 parts of fruit juice. How many parts of water are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice?

Answer 1

I'm not sure... ratio is 2:3, so it should be 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:

2/3 parts of water

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving the question it is necessary to use the rule of three, in which we know that 2 parts of water are mixed with 3 parts of juice, then, how many parts of water are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice. That can be written as:

2 parts of water ------------------  3 parts of Fruit Juice

        X              ------------------   1 part of Fruit Juice

Where X is the parts of water that are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice. Solving for X we get:

$X=\frac{2 * 1 }{3}$

X= $\frac{2}{3}$ parts of water

Finally, for made the beverage, 1 part of fruit juice is mixed with $\frac{2}{3}$ parts of water.
