Question

Josie makes fruit punch by mixing fruit juice and lemonade in the ratio 3:2

She needs to make 35 litres of punch for a party.
How much of each ingredient does she need?
Fruit juice =
Lemonade =​

Answer 1

Explanation:

F/L=3/2

F=3L/2

F+L=35, using F found above makes this become

3L/2+L=35

3L+2L=70

5L=70

L=14, since F=3L/2

F=3(14)/2

F=21

So she needs

Fruit juice=21 liters

Lemonade=14 liters

Answer 2

fruit-21

lemonade -14

Explanation:

to find out how many parts you have you add 3 and 2 together, this gives you 5, 36÷5=7 so for every 1 of each you have 7, 3×7=21, 2×7=14
