Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cocktail percentage be 100 %

% of orange juice =30%

% of apple juice =20%

% of coconut milk =50%

the ratio of coctail is 3:2:5

therefore ratio of coconut milk = 5

50/100=1/2

Answer 2

The proportion of the cocktail is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of orange juice = 30 ml

Quantity of apple juice = 20 ml

Quantity of coconut juice = 50 ml

Total quantity of cocktail = 100 ml

So, the ratio of orange juice to apple juice to coconut juice is given by

$30:20:50\\\\=3:2:5$

So, proportion of the cocktail is coconut milk is given by

$\dfrac{5}{10}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 100\\\\=50\%$

Hence, the proportion of the cocktail is $\dfrac{1}{2}$
