Give your answer in millilitres (ml)

Answer 1

200 ml

Explanation:

Orange squash is mixed with water in the ratio 1 : 3. If you use 600 ml of water, how much squash do you need?

1 is to 3 as x is to 600

1 is 1/3 of 3 so x should be 1/3 of 600

1/3 of 600 = 200

use 200 ml squash to keep the ratio the same.
