Question

An 8-ounce container has 6 ounces of coffee and 2 ounces of milk. A 20-ounce container has the same ratio of coffee to milk. How many ounces of milk are in the 20-ounce container?

Answer 1

15 ounce of coffee

And 5 ounce of milk.

Explanation:

We have been given the 8-ounce container has 6-ounces of coffee

That means 1-ounce will have 6/8 ounces of coffee

And 8-ounces container has 2 ounces of milk

That means 1 ounce container will have 2/8 ounce of milk

We need to find for 20 ounce container:

20 ounce container will have
`20\cdot (6)/(8)` of coffee which is equal to 15 ounce of coffee

And 20 ounce of container will have
`20\cdot (2)/(8)` of milk which is equal to 5 ounce of milk.
