Answer: 480 ml

The greatest amount of fizzy drink can he make is 480 ml

Explanation:

Given;

Mixing ratio = 5 : 3

Volume of lime juice = 300ml

Volume of lemonade = 200ml

From the given ratio;

5 ml of lemon juice needs 3 ml of lemonade to make 8 ml of fizzy drink.

Assuming all the lemon juice were used;

For 300ml of lemon juice,

It'll require 300/5 × 3 ml of lemonade.

Volume of lemonade needed V2= 300/5 × 3 = 180 ml

Volume of fizzy drink = volume of lemon juice + volume of lemonade

Volume of fizzy drink = 300ml + 180ml = 480ml

The greatest amount of fizzy drink can he make is 480 ml
