Question

An orange drink is made using one part orange juice to 4 parts water.
How many litres of orange juice and water are needed to make:
a. 5 litres of orange drink?
b. 20 litres of orange drink?

Answer 1

The ratio of orange juice to water is 1 : 4

so , for 1000 ml (1 litre) of orange drink

we divide in ratio of 1 : 4

so for 1000 ml , we got 200 ml of orange juice and 800 ml lof water

(a) for 5 litre of orange drink

for 1 litre , we need 200 ml of orange juice and 800 ml of water

for 5 litre , we need 200 ml x 5 = 1000ml ( 1 litre )of orange juice and 800 ml x 5 = 4000ml ( 4 litre ) of water

so for 5 litre orange drink , we need 1 litre of orange juice and 4 litre of water

(b) for 20 litre of orange drink

for 1 litre , we need 200 ml of orange juice and 800 ml of water

for 20 litre , we need 200 ml x 20 = 4000ml ( 4 litre )of orange juice and 800 ml x 20 = 16000ml ( 16 litre ) of water

so for 20 litre of orange drink , we need 4 litre of orange juice and 16 litre of water.
