Question

Pam asks you to help with the catering for a children's party. You decide to use juice concentrate to serve as a refreshing drink.to create this delicious drink,you must dilute the concentrate in ratio of 1:5,you have 3 liters of concentrate. What is the volume of water needed if you use all the available concentrate

Answer 1

To dilute 3 liters of juice concentrate at a 1:5 ratio, 15 liters of water would be required, resulting in a total volume of 18 liters of diluted juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the volume of water needed to dilute a concentrate in a 1:5 ratio. Given that there are 3 liters of concentrate, the ratio implies that for every 1 part of concentrate, we need 5 parts of water. Therefore, if we use all the available concentrate, we need to calculate the amount of water by multiplying the volume of concentrate by 5. So, the calculation is as follows:

3 liters of concentrate × 5 liters of water per liter of concentrate = 15 liters of water

This indicates that we would need 15 liters of water to dilute the 3 liters of concentrate at the specified ratio.
