Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

For 30 ml of orange Juice

45 ml of apple Juice is needed and

25 ml of coconut milk is required

The proportion of coconut milk in the cocktail is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{amount of coconut milk}}{\text{total volume of mixture}}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{25}{30+45+25}=\dfrac{25}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}$
