Question

The ratio of orange juice to pinapple jucie in tropical treat punch is 4 to 3. Bill has 64oz of orange juice. How many pineapple juice does he need

Answer 1

We are given :

The ratio of orange juice to pineapple juice in tropical treat punch = 4:3 or 4/3.

Number of oz of orange juice = 64 oz.

Let us assume number of oz pineapple juice does he need = p.

We can setup an proportion:

64 : p = 4 : 3

$\frac{64}{p} = \frac{4}{3}$

On cross multiplication we get

64 × 3 = 4 × p

192 = 4p

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

p = 48.

Therefore, he needs 48 oz of pineapple juice.
