1
10
is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form is 1 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The portion of apple juice in the drink is = 3/4

The portion of orange  juice = 1/10

The portion of Cranberry juice is given as:

1 - (3/4 + 1/10)

= 1 - 17/20

= 20/20- 17/20 = 3/20

So, the portion of Cranberry juice in the punch drink is given  as 3/20

We need to get the ration of cranberry juice to apple juice.

We get this below:

Cranberry juice : apple juice

= (3/20) / (3/4)

= 3/20 × 4/3 = 1/5

So the ratio is = 1 : 5
