Question

In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If 1/3 of the drink is apple juice and 1/2

is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.

Answer 1

1/3+1/2+x=1

2/6+3/6+x=1

5/6+x=1

x=6/6-5/6

x=1/6

Apple juice=1/3

Orange juice=1/2

Cranberry juice=1/6

Ratio=

1/6:1/3:1/2

Answer 2

apple juice is 1/3, and orange juice is 1/2,

so cranberry juice will be 1-(1/3+1/2)

or, 1 - 5/6

or, 1/6

now,

cranberry juice : apple juice : orange juice

or, 1/6 : 1/3 : : 1/3 : 1/2

or, 1 : 2 : : 2 : 3

or, 1 : 2 : 3(answer)

hope this helps ☺️
