Question

the ratio of manjo juice to guava juice in paradise punch is 5 to 3. Leilani has 32 fl oz of manjo juice. how much guava juice does she need

Answer 1

Originally the ratio is 5:3, but we can make this ration 5x:3x because its equal. By doing so, we know that 5x+3x=32.

Now just solve the equation:

5x+3x=32

8x=32

x=4.

Now insert x into ratio.

Since she needs 3x of guava juice, she needs 3*4 fl oz of guava juice. She need 12 fl oz of guava juice.

Answer:

12 FL OZ of guava juice.
