Question

In a fruit cocktail, for every 30 ml of orange juice you need 20 ml of apple juice and 50 ml of coconut milk. What proportion of the cocktail is coconut milk?

Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

first things first, you need to find out how much juice you have: 30 + 20 + 50 = 100, so 100 ml of juice. all together, the juice is 100%, or 1. separated, the amounts are 30%, 20%, and 50%, therefore the amount of coconut milk in the cocktail you have is 50%, or 1/2.
