Question

The White Russian cocktail contains vodka, Tia Maria and milk in the ratio of 5:2:3. To make the cocktail for a party the barman used 180ml of milk. What was the total volume of the cocktail? If this was served in 60ml glasses, how many glasses would it serve?

Answer 1

1) 600cm^3 2) 10 glasses

Explanation:

x = total amount in ml

(3/10)x = 180ml (MILK)

x = 600ml

(2/10)600 = 120ml (TIA MARIA)

(1/2)600 = 300ml (VODKA)

1) 600cm^3

2) 600ml : 60ml = 10 (GLASSES)
