Amount of Pineapple juice = 125 ml

Amount of mix juice = 175 ml

Explanation:

Given:

Type of juice

Orange juice, Pineapple juice, mix juice

Ratio: 3 : 5 : 7

Amount of juice mixture = 375 ml

Find:

Amount of each juice

Computation:

Let common ratio = a

So,

3a + 5a + 7a = 375

15a = 375

a = 375 / 15

a = 25

Amount of orange juice = 3a

Amount of orange juice = 3(25)

Amount of orange juice = 75 ml

Amount of Pineapple juice = 5a

Amount of Pineapple juice = 5(25)

Amount of Pineapple juice = 125 ml

Amount of mix juice = 7a

Amount of mix juice = 7(25)

Amount of mix juice = 175 ml
