Orange juice concentrate is mixed with water in the ratio 1 pary concentrate to 5 parts water.How many parts orange juice are needed for 25 parts of water?
1/5 = x/25
x = 5
To find out how many parts of orange juice are needed for 25 parts of water, we need to refer to the given ratio:
1 part concentrate to 5 parts water.
We can set up a proportion to solve this. Let "x" represent the unknown number of parts of concentrate needed. The proportion can be set up as:
1/5 = x/25
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
5 * x = 1 * 25
5x = 25
Now, we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 5
Therefore, 5 parts of orange juice concentrate are needed for 25 parts of water.
