Answer:


(7)/(8)

Explanation:

We know that 400ml squash = 50ml of Cordial With Water.

Therefore in 400ml of squash, amount of water will be 400ml - 50ml = 350ml of water.

In fraction form, this will be
(350)/(400) =(7)/(8)

Hope it helps

Answer:

If 400 ml of squash is made by mixing 50 ml of cordial with water, then the remaining volume is water.

The volume of water used in making the squash = 400 ml - 50 ml = 350 ml

The fraction of the drink that is water is:

Water volume / Total volume = 350 ml / 400 ml = 7/8

Therefore, 7/8 of the drink is water.
