Question

In a fruit cocktail, for every 20 ml of orange juice you need 10 ml of apple juice and 15 ml of coconut milk. What proportion of the cocktail is apple juice?
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of mL in the drink:

20 + 10 + 15

= 45

There are 10 mL of apple juice, so the proportion will be 10/45

Simplify this by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5:

10/45

= 5/9

So, 5/9 is the proportion of the cocktail that is apple juice
