Mark uses 10 cups of apple juice and 16 cups of orange juice to make fruit punch. Deon uses an equivalent ratio of apple juice to orange juice when he makes fruit punch. Which ratio of apple juice to orange juice could Deon use?

Respuesta :

Given that,

No of cups of Apple juice = 10

No of cups of Orange juice = 16

Solution,

The ratio of Apple juice to the Orange juice will be :

[tex]R=\dfrac{10}{16}[/tex] ....(1)

For equivalent fraction, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 such that,

[tex]R=\dfrac{10\times 2}{16\times 2}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{32}[/tex]

Dividing both numerator and denominator 2 such that,

[tex]R=\dfrac{10/2}{16/2}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

So, the required ratio is 5/8.
