In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If
2
7
of the drink is apple juice and
1
2
is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

Using a common denominator of 20, 1/4 becomes 5/20 (by multiplying numerator and denominator by 5) and 3/10 becomes 6/20 (by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2). Since we now know that 11/20 of juice is either orange or apple, than 9/20 of the juice must be cranberry for a total of 20/20.
