Question

Manny is making 12 quarts of orange juice from concentrate and water. The number of quarts of water is 3 times the number of quarts of concentrate. How many quarts of concentrate and how many quarts of water does Manny need?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 3 quarts of concentrate and 9 quarts of water.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of number of quarts of water to number of quarts of concentrate is

3:1

Number of quarts of orange juice from concentrate and water = 12 quarts

So, the number of quarts of concentrate would be

`(1)/(4)* 12\\\\=(12)/(4)\\\\=3\ quarts`

the number of quarts of water would be

`(3)/(4)* 12\\\\=3* 3\\\\=9\ quarts`

Hence, there are 3 quarts of concentrate and 9 quarts of water.
