Answer 1

15 calories

Explanation:

Number of calories in 8 ounces of orange juice = 100

Number of calories in 1 ounce of juice = 100/8

Number of calories in 4 ounces of juice = 100/8 x 4 = 50 calories

Number of calories in 8 ounces of pineapple juice = 140

Number of calories in 1 ounce of juice = 140/8

Number of calories in 4 ounces of pineapple juice= 140/8 x 4 = 70 calories

Now the mixture has 50 + 70 = 120 calories in 8 ounce.

So, 1 ounce of mixture has 120/8= 15 calories.
