An orange drink is made by mixing water and orange concentrate in a ratio of 5:1. How much orange concentrate is in 24 litres of orange drink
The ratio of water to orange concentrate is 5:1. This means that for every 5 parts of water, there is 1 part of orange concentrate.
So, the total ratio is 5+1 = 6 parts.
To find the amount of orange concentrate in 24 litres of orange drink, we need to multiply the ratio by the total volume of the drink:
1/6 * 24 = 4 litres
Therefore, there is 4 litres of orange concentrate in 24 litres of orange drink.
To determine the amount of orange concentrate in 24 litres of orange drink, you need to calculate the fraction of the mixture that is orange concentrate, and then multiply it by the total volume of the mixture.
Given that the ratio of water to orange concentrate is 5:1, this means that for every 5 parts of water, there is 1 part of orange concentrate.
To find the fraction, you can divide the proportion of orange concentrate by the total number of parts in the ratio:
Proportion of orange concentrate = 1 / (5 + 1)
= 1 / 6
Next, multiply the proportion of orange concentrate by the total volume of the mixture:
Orange concentrate in 24 litres = (1 / 6) * 24
= 4 litres
Therefore, there are 4 litres of orange concentrate in 24 litres of orange drink.
