Answer 2

112 bottles

Explanation:

A truck is carrying pear juice, cherry juice, and apple juice bottles in a ratio

3 : 1: 3

If there are 16 cherry juice bottles.

Let common factor of ratio be x

Pear juice = 3x

Cherry juice = x

Apple juice = 3x

Cherry juice is 16 bottles

So, x = 16

Pear juice = 3×16 = 48 bottles

Apple juice = 3×16 = 48 bottles

Total number of bottle = Pear juice + Apple juice + Cherry juice

= 48 + 48 + 16

= 112 bottles

Hence, The total 112 juice bottles.
