Question

For every one litre of water used to make medicine, 150 ml of sucrose and 600 ml of saline solution is used. Express the amount of water, sucrose and saline solution needed as a ratio in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 20 : 3 : 12

Explanation:

For every 1 litre, 150 ml of sucrose and 600ml of saline solution is needed.

1litre = 1,000 ml

Water = 1,000 ml

Ratio:

1,000 : 150 : 600

Divide by 50 to get simplest form:

20 : 3 : 12
