Question

Miki has a dozen oranges of the same size and a dozen pears of the same size. Miki uses her juicer to extract 8 ounces of pear juice from 3 pears and 8 ounces of orange juice from 2 oranges. She makes a pear-orange juice blend from an equal number of pears and oranges. What percent of the blend is pear juice?

Answer 1

We will solve as follows:

*First: We have to find the common denominator [Given that we have 12 pears and 12 oranges, and we obtain 8 ounces of pear juice for every 3 pears and 8 ounces of orange juice per 2 orangs], that is we have that we will use all the pears and oranges, so we find the total ounces of each juice:

`O_j=(8\cdot12)/(2)\Rightarrow O_j=48`
`P_j=`
