Question

A truck is carrying passion fruit juice, cherry juice, and mango juice bottles in a ratio 1:2:7. If there are 34 cherry juice bottles, then how many nango juuce bottles are there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using a ratio. If there a 2 bottles of cherry in the ratio and there are 34 actual bottles of cherry, then the ratio is

$\frac{ratio}{actual}:\frac{2}{34}$

In the ratio, we are told that the mix of bottles is 7 parts mango and we want to know how many actual bottles there are of mango. So filling in:

$\frac{ratio}{actual} =\frac{2}{34} =\frac{7}{m}$ and cross multiply to get

2m = 238 and

m = 119. There are 119 bottles of mango juice. And just for the record, there are 17 bottles of fruit juice.
