Question

In a fruit cocktail, for every 25 ml of orange juice you need 30 ml of apple juice and 45 ml of coconut milk. What proportion of the cocktail is orange juice?
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the three amounts:

25 ml + 30 ml + 45 ml = 100 ml

These three amounts make 100 ml of fruit cocktail.

The amount of orange juice is 25 ml.

The fraction of orange juice is

(25 ml)/(100 ml) = 25/100 = 1/4

Answer: 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation The apple juice is 30%and 3/10 of the proportion because:

when you add everything up: 25+30+45=100

now you must divide the whole cocktail just by the apple juice:

100 : 30 = 3.33333333

Meaning the apple juice takes 30% of the proportion. and 30% is 3/10
