Question

Aria puts 0. 75 liters of apple juice and 0. 5 liter of cranberry juice in a pitcher that holds 2 liters of liquid. She fills the rest of the pitcher with orange juice. What fraction of the mixture is orange juice?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Your equation is 0.75L + 0.5L + x = 2L
x = Orange juice

0.75L + 0.5L = 1.25L
2L - 1.25L = 0.75L


`(0.75L)/(2L)` is your fraction

`(75)/(200)` simplified is
`(3)/(8)`
