Shahid thinks that he has 300 m/ of orange juice and 200 ml of lemonade.
(a) If Shahid is correct, what is the greatest amount of fizzy drink he can make?​

Answer 1

The greatest amount of fizzy drink he can make is 420 ml

Explanation:

we know that

The ratio of the parts of orange juice to parts of lemonade is

`(5)/(2)`

so

using proportion

Find out the milliliters of lemonade needed to make fizzy drink with 300 ml of orange juice

Let

x -----> milliliters of lemonade needed

`(5)/(2)=(300)/(x)\\\\x=300*2/5\\\\x=120\ ml`

Find the greatest amount of fizzy drink he can make

Adds the milliliters of lemonade plus the milliliters of orange juice

`120+300=420\ ml`

therefore

The greatest amount of fizzy drink he can make is 420 ml
