Question

In a fruit cocktail, for every 30 ml of orange

juice you need 20 ml of apple juice and 50
ml of coconut milk. What proportion of the
cocktail is apple juice?
Give your answer as a fraction in its
simplest form

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

If you mix 30 ml of orange juice, 20 ml of apple juice and 50 ml of coconut milk you will get a total of 30 + 20 + 50 = 100 ml of cocktail

The proportion of apple juice in the cocktail is merely the volume of apple juice added to the total volume of cocktail

= 20/100 = 1/5
