Question

A fruit drink is made by mixing juice and water in the ratio 2 : 9
(a) How many litres of juice are needed to make 44 litres of the drink?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The total capacity of juice is 8 litres.

Step-by-step explanation ::

To Find :-

• How many litres of juice are needed to make 44 litres of the drink?

Solution :-

Given that,

• A fruit drink is made by mixing juice and water in the ratio 2:9
• Total capacity = 44 litres

Assumption:

Let us assume the ratio of juice and water as 2x and 9x respectively.

Therefore,

• 2x + 9x = 44

=> 2x + 9x = 44

=> 11x = 44

=> x = 44/11

=> x = 4

The value of x is 4.

According the question,

The total capacity of juice is,

We assumed the capacity of juice as 2x,

=> 2x

=> 2*4

=> 8 litres

The total capacity of juice is 8 litres.
