Question

Molly is making Strawberry infused water for each ounce of strawberry juice she uses three times as many ounces of water she wants to make a total of 64 ounces of strawberry infused water

Answer 1

The Total of 16 ounces of Strawberry juice and 48 ounces of water is used for making 64 ounces of Strawberry infused water.

Explanation:

Let the amount of Strawberry juice in ounces be 'j'

Let the amount of water in ounce be 'w'

Given:

For each ounce of strawberry juice she uses three times as many ounces of water.

It means that amount of water in ounce is 3 times of amount of strawberry juice in ounce.

framing the equation we get;

`w=3j`

Now we need how many ounces of strawberry juice and how many ounces of water does she need to make 64 ounces of strawberry infused water.

We know that Total Strawberry infused water is equal to sum of amount of Strawberry juice in ounces and the amount of water in ounces

Framing in equation form we get;

`j+w=64`

But we know
`w=3j`

hence,

`j+3j= 64\\\\4j=64\\\\j=(64)/(4) = 16 \ ounces`

Hence amount of Strawberry juice = 16 ounces

Amount of water =
`3j = 3*16 =48 \ ounces`

Hence The Total of 16 ounces of Strawberry juice and 48 ounces of water is used for making 64 ounces of Strawberry infused water.
