Question

31. One serving of party drink is comprised of 3oz of syrup, 4oz of water, and 3oz of apple juice. If a large bowl of the drink contains 237oz of apple juice, how much of the total drink is in the bowl

Answer 1

790 oz

Explanation:

Ratio:

3oz syrup : 4oz water : 3oz apple juice: 1 serving: 10oz total mixture

We know there is 10oz total mixture because 3oz of syrup + 4oz of water + 3oz of apple juice = 10oz total mixture

We want to find

237oz apple juice: ?oz total mixture

To do this, we can multiply the ratio

3oz apple juice: 10oz total mixture by 237/3, because 237/3 * 3 = 237, getting us to 237oz apple juice on one side and maintaining the ratio so that we can find the total mixture amount, so we have

237oz apple juice: 10*237/3 oz total mixture = 10*79 = 790 oz
