Question

In a fruit punch drink, the 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If 2 7 of the drink is apple juice and 1 2 is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form.

Answer 1

3:4:7

Explanation:

The 3 ingredients are apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. If
`(2)/(7)` of the drink is apple juice and
`(1)/(2)` is orange juice, then

`1-(2)/(7)-(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)-(2)/(7)=(7-4)/(14)=(3)/(14)`

is cranberry juice.

The ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice is

`(3)/(14):(2)/(7):(1)/(2)=(3)/(14):(4)/(14):(7)/(14)=3:4:7.`
