Question

In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If 1/4 of the drink is apple juice and 2/5 is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

7:5:8

Step-by-step explanation:

the juice contains three ingredients which together form a whole number '1'

drink containing apple juice =1/4

drink containing orange juice =2/5

drink containing cranberry juice =x

x= 1-(1/4 +2/5)  = 1-(5/20 +8/20)

=1-13/20 =7/20

therefore x =7/20

cranberry :apple :orange = 7/20 : 1/4: 2/5

=7/20:5/20:8/20

=7:5:8
