An orange drink is made by mixing orange juice and water in the ratio 1:5. (a). How much water is mixed with 3 litres of orange juice? (b). How much water is in 24 litres of orange juice?
A. 1:5=3:x
1/5=3/×
×=15litres
B. 3:15=24:×
3/15=24/×
3×=360
×=120litres
The ratio=1:5
1+5=6
Water =5
You will use the 5 to times the 3 making = 15 litres
B, 3×x=15×24=360
Divide the 360 to three 360/3=120
Therefore 120 litres
