Question

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 150 ml of sucrose and 600ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of water, sucrose and saline solution needed as a ratio in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

water : sucrose : saline solution

20      :       3      :      12

Explanation:

First, we will start by converting all units to ml:

1 liter of water = 1000 ml of water

150 ml of sucrose = 150 ml of sucrose

600 ml of saline solution = 600 ml of saline solution

Now, we can set the ratio as follows:

water : sucrose : saline solution

1000  :      150    :    600

Divide all three numbers by 50

This will give us:

water : sucrose : saline solution

20      :      3       :    12

There is no further simplification for the obtained numbers.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The required answer is

water : sucrose : saline solution

$20 : 3 : 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we'll convert all units to milliliters:

Remember that Water$=1L=1000ML$

We can now adjust the ratio as follows:

The amount of Sucrose$=150ML$

The amount of Saline solution$=600ML$

This will give us:

So, water : sucrose : saline solution

Divide $50$ from each of the three integers.

$1000 : 150 : 600$

Ratio is equal to

$20 : 3 : 12$

The resultant numbers cannot be simplified any further.
