Using the original ratio of 5/2, if there is 20 parts apple juice how many parts cranberry juice will there be?
A.
8
B.
3
C.
10
D.
6
To find the number of parts cranberry juice, we can use the original ratio. The original ratio is 5 parts apple juice to 2 parts cranberry juice.
If there are 20 parts apple juice, we can set up the following proportion:
5 parts apple juice / 2 parts cranberry juice = 20 parts apple juice / x parts cranberry juice
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5 * x = 20 * 2
5x = 40
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 8
Therefore, there will be 8 parts cranberry juice.
The answer is A. 8.
To find out the number of parts of cranberry juice, we need to use the ratio given and the number of parts of apple juice.
The original ratio is 5/2, which means for every 5 parts of apple juice, there are 2 parts of cranberry juice.
If there are 20 parts of apple juice, we can set up a proportion to find the number of parts of cranberry juice:
5/2 = 20/x
To solve for x (the number of parts of cranberry juice), we can cross-multiply:
5x = 2 * 20
5x = 40
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
x = 40/5
x = 8
Therefore, there will be 8 parts of cranberry juice. So the answer is A. 8.
To find the number of parts of cranberry juice when there are 20 parts of apple juice, we need to use the original ratio of 5/2.
The original ratio tells us that for every 5 parts of apple juice, there are 2 parts of cranberry juice.
To find out how many parts of cranberry juice there will be with 20 parts of apple juice, we can set up a proportion:
5 parts apple juice / 2 parts cranberry juice = 20 parts apple juice / x parts cranberry juice
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5x = 2 * 20
5x = 40
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we find:
x = 8
Therefore, there will be 8 parts of cranberry juice when there are 20 parts of apple juice.
Hence, the correct answer is A. 8.
Using the original ratio 5:2, what is another equivalent ratio for this juice mixture?
A.
20 to 50
B.
10: 5
C.
40/16
D.
100/200
To find another equivalent ratio for the original ratio of 5:2, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same factor. This will preserve the ratio while scaling it up or down.
Let's try multiplying both 5 and 2 by 4:
(5 * 4) : (2 * 4) = 20 : 8
So, another equivalent ratio for the juice mixture is 20:8.
The answer is not provided in the options given.

Okay, if we have to choose one of the answers, the closest one would be:
A. 20 to 50
This is not an exact equivalent ratio, but it is the closest option given.
