Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the initial ratio of 3 parts water to 5 parts fruit juice, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to determine the amount of water needed with just 1 part of fruit juice:
cross multiply: 5x = 3
divide: 5x/5 = 3/5 or x = 3/5
3/5 = 0.6 parts water
If the unknown value is x, then x = × 6 = 21.
Explanation:
- Since it is a double number line with a ratio, all the ratios of one number line to the other will remain equal for all the values along both the number lines. Assume the unknown value to be x.
- The ratio of the number on the first number line to the corresponding number on the second number line is calculated to be;
=
=
=
=
= 3.5. So
- We can also calculate x by the following method. As ratios are equal we can directly substitute the value to another ration. So
= 21.
