Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to find the amount of apple juice in a 48-fluid ounce bottle of cranapple juice which has a ratio of 3 parts cranberry juice to 5 parts apple juice. To solve this, we need to calculate how many total parts are in the mixture and then determine how much one part corresponds to in terms of fluid ounces. Then we can find out how many fluid ounces 5 parts equate to, which will represent the apple juice content.
First, we find the total number of parts which is 3 (cranberry) + 5 (apple) = 8 parts. In a 48-fluid ounce bottle, this means that one part equals 48 ÷ 8, which is 6 fluid ounces. The juice is 5 parts apple, so we multiply 5 by 6 fluid ounces to get 30 fluid ounces of apple juice. Option d.
