Question

mrs Alexandra made 4564 milliliters of orange juice. she mixed water and orange syrup to make the orange juice. the amount of water was 6 times the amount of syrup. how much more water than syrup was used?

Answer 1

Make it a ratio of 6:1 - water:syrup

then, we do 6+1 = 7
then 4564 / 7 = 652
so 652 syrup was used, and 3912 water.

this means that 3260 more water than syrup

Turn it into a ratio of 6:1 (water:orange syrup)
Then divide 4564 by 7, which is 652, meaning that 652 syrup was used and 3912 water.

Now do 3912-652, making 3260, which is how more more water was used than syrup.

Answer 2

Make it a ratio of 6:1 - water:syrup

then, we do 6+1 = 7
then 4564 / 7 = 652
so 652 syrup was used, and 3912 water.

this means that 3260 more water than syrup
