A fruit juice recipe calls for 3 parts orange juice and 5 parts pineapple juice. Which proportion can be used to find the amount of orange juice, j, that is needed to add to 27 L of pineapple juice?

5 over 3 equals j over 27
5 over j equals 3 over 27
3 over 5 equals j over 27
15 over 27 equals j over 100

Answer 1

The correct proportion that can be used to find the amount of orange juice, j, that is needed to add to 27 L of pineapple juice is:

3/5 = j/27

So, the answer is: 3 over 5 equals j over 27.
