Answer: The correct option is (A) 1 over 3.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a beverage is made by mixing 1 part of water with 3 parts of fruit juice.

We are to find the number of parts of water that are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

Number of parts of water that are mixed with 3 parts of fruit juice = 1,

Therefore, the number of parts of water that are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice is given by


(1)/(3).

Thus, the required number of parts of water is 1 over 3.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
