Answer 1

What is a ratio?

A ratio has two or more numbers that symbolize relation to each other. Ratios are used to compare numbers, and you can compare them using division.

If the ratio is 7: 5 (oranges to apples) we can use this equation to solve the problem:

• 168 × 0.714285714 = 120

Why do we multiply by 0.714285714?

We multiply by 0.714285714 because we can see that 7 is being multiplied by 0.714285714 to get 5.

Therefore, if the ratio stays proportional, you will need 120 litres of apple juice for every 168 litres of orange juice.
