In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If
1
4
of the drink is apple juice and
3
10
is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.
11 to 5
I am here for children
1/4 + 3/10 = 5/20 + 6/20= 11/20 is cranberry
11/20 / 1/4 = 11/20 / 5/20 = 11/5
whats the ratio?
sorry 9 =20-11 so
cranberry is 9/20
there is much more cranberry than apple
now you can put in orange
apple 5/20
orange 6/20
cranberry 9/20
so
5:6:9
To write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form, we need to determine the fraction of cranberry juice in the drink.
First, let's find the total fraction of apple juice and orange juice in the drink:
- The fraction of apple juice is 1/4 since 1 out of 4 parts of the drink is apple juice.
- The fraction of orange juice is 3/10 since 3 out of 10 parts of the drink is orange juice.
Next, subtract the fractions of apple juice and orange juice from 1 to find the fraction of cranberry juice:
1 - (1/4 + 3/10) = 1 - (5/20 + 6/20) = 1 - (11/20) = 9/20
Therefore, the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice is 9:4:6 in its simplest form.
