Question

Water and orange squash is mixed in the ratio 5 : 3

Find how much water is needed to dilute 180 cl of orange squash.

Answer 1

300cl

Explanation:

5 : 3

? : 180

Divide 180 by 3 to find out how much more orange squash has been used.

180 / 3 = 60

Multiply 5 by 60.

5 x 60 = 300 (5 x 6 x 10)

300 : 180
