Question

You use a juice mix to make orange juice.

You combine 12 ounces of the mix with 36 ounces of water.

What is a unit rate that describes your juice?

Answer 1

Answer: 12/48 = 25%

Step-by-step explanation: If the unit rate that characterizes my juice reflects its concentration, then there are 36 + 12 = 48 ounces of matter in total. The orange juice mix that we add is 12 ounces of mix, therefore the concentration is 12/48 = 25%.
