A truck is carrying pear juice, cherry juice, and apple juice bottles in a ratio of 3:1:3, If there are 16 cherry juice bottles how many juice bottles in all?
Pear juice #?
Cherry juice 16
Apple juice #?
3:1, 1:3
3pears to 1cherry; 1apple to 3cherry
There are total of 79 bottles of juice.
multiply the ratios by 16, and you get
48:16:48
Now add those up.
It is not 1 apple to 3 cherry. It is 1 cherry to 3 apple.
112
a truck is carrying apple,mango,and grape juce and grape juice bottles in a ratio of 6:1:2. If there are 17 mango juice bottles, then how many grape juice bottles are there?
To find the total number of juice bottles, we first need to find the ratio between pear juice, cherry juice, and apple juice. The given ratio tells us that for every 3 pear juice bottles, there is 1 cherry juice bottle, and for every 3 cherry juice bottles, there is 1 apple juice bottle.
Since we are given that there are 16 cherry juice bottles, we can find the number of pear juice bottles and apple juice bottles by using the ratio.
To calculate the number of pear juice bottles, we can set up a proportion:
3 pear juice bottles / 1 cherry juice bottle = X pear juice bottles / 16 cherry juice bottles
Simplifying this proportion, we get:
3X = 16
X = 16 / 3
X ≈ 5.33
However, since we cannot have a fraction of a bottle, we round the number of pear juice bottles to the nearest whole number. Therefore, there are approximately 5 pear juice bottles.
Similarly, to calculate the number of apple juice bottles, we can set up another proportion:
1 apple juice bottle / 3 cherry juice bottles = Y apple juice bottles / 16 cherry juice bottles
Simplifying this proportion, we get:
3Y = 16
Y = 16 / 3
Y ≈ 5.33
Again, rounding to the nearest whole number, we find that there are approximately 5 apple juice bottles.
Finally, we can add up the number of pear juice, cherry juice, and apple juice bottles:
5 pear juice bottles + 16 cherry juice bottles + 5 apple juice bottles = 26 juice bottles in total.
