Given:
Elise is making punch for the party that requires 2 parts of fruit juice for every 5 parts of ginger ale.
To make the punch, she uses 18 ounces of fruit juice and 3 containers of ginger ale.
To find:
The number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.
Solution:
Let n be the number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.
According to the question, the ratio of fruit juice and ginger ale is 2:5. it means,
Divide both sides by 2.
So, ginger required for punch is 45 ounces.
Number of containers = 3
Number of ounces in each container of ginger ale = n
Number of ounces in 3 containers of ginger ale = 3n
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, 15 ounces are in each container of ginger ale.
Remove parentheses.
-3/8 -1/6
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 3/8, 1/6. In other words, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8,6.
LCD=24
Make the denominators the same as the LCD.
- 3x3/8x3 - 1x4/6x4
Simplify. Denominators are now the same
-9/24 - 4/24
Join the denominators
-9-4/24
Simplify
-13/24
Answer:
7/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
If I'm wrong please tell me
the ratio 6/5 means for every 6 boys there are 5 girls.
Add the ratio: 6+5 = 11
Divide class total by 11: 22/11 = 2
Multiply each ratio number by 2 to find the number of boys and the number of girls:
6 x 2 = 12 boys
5 x 2 = 10 girls.
10 out of the 22 kids are girls.
The probability of picking a girl would be 10/22, which reduces to 5/11
