Answer:

2 cases of soya bean milk will have the same volume as 1 case of fruit juice.

Explanation:

Let the case of soya beans drink be x and let the case of fruit juice be y

We are told that the room can store either 10 cases of soya beans drink and 8 cases of fruit juice or 4 cases of soybeans drink and 11 cases of fruit juice.

This means that;

10x + 8y = 4x + 11y

Rearranging, we have;

10x - 4x = 11y - 8y

6x = 3y

Thus;

y = 6x/3

y = 2x

This means that 2 cases of soya bean milk will have the same volume as 1 case of fruit juice.
