Answer 1

Answer:

160 mL of fruit juice and 400 mL of sparkling water

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement we have that the ratio between fruit juice and sparkling water is 2/5.

Therefore, we could also say that:

200/500

with it could be done with 200 mL of fruit juice and 500 mL of sparkling water, so for 400 mL, how much would it be:

400 * 200/500 = 160

Therefore, the largest amount of the drink can be made with 160 mL of fruit juice and 400 mL of sparkling water.
