Question

In a fruit cocktail, for every 30 ml of orange juice you need 45 ml of apple juice and 25 ml of coconut milk. What proportion of the cocktail is coconut milk?
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us simplify the question first.

Here, we have a fruit cocktail.

The fruit cocktail consists of apple juice, orange juice and coconut milk.

In direct terms, we need the proportion of coconut milk in thus whole constituent.

Let us sum up the given values.

Fruit Cocktail = Orange Juice + Apple Juice + Coconut milk

= 25 + 30 + 45

= 100 ml of fruit cocktail.

Now, we can write as :-

$\tt{Milliliters \ of \ coconut \ milk = \dfrac{ Proportionate}{Solution \ of \ Fruit \ Cocktail}}$

Extend $\longrightarrow$ this side.

So,

$\boxed{\tt{ \dfrac{25}{100}}}$

= $\boxed{\tt{\dfrac{1}{4}}}$ is the required answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• In a fruit cocktail, for every 30 ml of orange juice, 45 ml of apple juice and 25 ml of coconut milk.

To Find :-

• What proportional of the cocktail is coconut juice.

Solution :-

Given :

• Volume of orange juice = 25 ml
• Volume of apple juice = 30 ml
• Volume of coconut juice = 45 ml

Then, the volume of cocktail will be :

$\implies \sf Volume\: of\: cocktail =\: Orange + Apple + Coconut$

$\implies \sf Volume\: of\: Cocktail =\: 25\: ml + 30\: ml + 45\: ml$

$\implies \sf Volume\: of\: Cocktail =\: 55\: ml + 45\: ml$

$\implies \sf\bold{\green{Volume\: of\: Cocktail =\: 100\: ml}}$

Now, we have to find the proportion of the cocktail is coconut milk:

$\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Proportion\: of\: the\: cocktail\: is\: coconut\: milk =\: \dfrac{Volume\: of\: Orange\: Juice}{Volume\: of\: Cocktail}}}}$

Given :

• Volume of Orange Juice = 25 ml
• Volume of Cocktail = 100 ml

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\implies \sf Proportion\: of\: cocktail\: is\: coconut\: milk =\: \dfrac{\cancel{25}}{\cancel{100}}$

$\implies \sf Proportion\: of\: cocktail\: is\: coconut\: milk =\: \dfrac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{20}}$

$\implies \sf \bold{\red{Proportion\: of\: cocktail\: is\: coconut\: milk =\: \dfrac{1}{4}}}$

$\therefore$ The proportion of the cocktail is coconut milk is ¼.
