Question

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






For every pound a company spends on advertising, it spends £0.80 on its website. Express the amount spent on advertising to the amount spent on its website as a ratio in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

water : sucrose : saline solution

20      :       3      :      12

Step-by-step 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 :)
