Answer 1

5.625 litres

Explanation:

1. We have to find how many litres of of lemon juice does a 1 litre jug of lemonade contains :

6 litres ÷ 1.6 litres = 3.75 litres

2. How many litres of lemon juice does a 1.5 litre bottle of lemonade contain?

= 3.75 litres × 1.5 litres

= 5.625 litres #

Answer 2

A 1.5 litre bottle of lemonade contains 0.4 litre of lemon juice

Step-by-step explanation

let x be the litre of lemon juice in 1.5 litre of lemonade

litre of lemon juice in 6 litre of lemonade = 1.6

so ,
`(6)/(1.6) = (1.5)/(x)`

x =
`(1.5 * 1.6)/(6)`

x=
`(2.4)/(6)`

x = 0.4 litre
