You mix 2 1/2 quarts of juice with 6 2/3 quarts of ginger ale to make fruit punch. What is the ratio of the amount of juice to the amount of ginger ale in simplest form

Respuesta :

The ratio of the amount of juice to the amount of ginger ale is 3 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Fruit punch = amount of juice + amount of gingle ale

(convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction)

  • amount of juice = 2 1/2 = 5/2
  • amount of ginger ale = 6 2/3 = 20/3

Ratio of the amount of juice to the amount of ginger ale = (5/2) / (20/3)

⇒ (5/2)[tex]\times[/tex](3/20)

⇒ (1/2)[tex]\times[/tex](3/4)

⇒(3/8)

The ratio of juice to ginger ale is 3 : 8
