To make banana berry smoothies, Just Juice mixes water and juice in a ratio of 5 to 3. How much water should Just Juice mix with 23 gallons of juice to make banana berry smoothies?​

Answer 1

38 1/3 gallons.

Explanation:

`(5)/(3)` =
`(w)/(23)` Cross multiply and solve

3w = 5(23)

3w = 115 Divide both side by 3

w = 38 1/3 Gallons
