Question

Matilda mixed 8 parts cranberry juice with 4 parts apple juice to make cran-apple juice. what is the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice in the mixture?

please explain how you got the answer

Answer 1

The ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice is 2:1 or 2 to 1

Both 8 and 4 can be divided by 4 so divide (cranberry juice—>) 8 by 4 to get 2. Divide (apple juice—>) 4 by 4 to get 1, now put them in the correct spot which equals 2:1 or 2 to 1
