Question

A recipe for chicken marinade says, ''Mix 3 parts oil with 2 parts soy sauce and 1 part orange juice. ''if you need 42 cups of marinade in all,how much of each ingredient should you see?

Answer 1

Answer:

Parts of oil in 42 cups of marinade = 21 cups

Parts of soy sauce in 42 cups of marinade = 14 cups

Parts of orange juice in 42 cups of marinade = 7 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Parts of oil = 3

Parts of soy sauce = 2

Part of orange juice = 1

Total cups of marinade = 42

To find:

How much of each ingredient should be there ?

Solution:

This problem can be solved by taking the ratio of ingredients into account.

The ratio is:

Oil : Soy Sauce : Orange Juice = 3 : 2 : 1

So, we can let the parts of oil = $3x$

Parts of soy sauce = $2x$

Parts of orange juice = $x$

As per the question statement:

$3x+2x+x=42\\\Rightarrow 6x=42\\\Rightarrow x =7$

So, parts of oil in 42 cups of marinade = 3 $\times$ 7 = 21 cups

Parts of soy sauce in 42 cups of marinade = 2 $\times$ 7 = 14 cups

Parts of orange juice in 42 cups of marinade = 7 cups
