Question

A beverage is made by mixing 2 parts of water with 3 parts of fruit juice. How many parts of water are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice?

Answer 1

I'm not sure... ratio is 2:3, so it should be 2/3

Answer 2

2/3 parts of water

Explanation:

For solving the question it is necessary to use the rule of three, in which we know that 2 parts of water are mixed with 3 parts of juice, then, how many parts of water are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice. That can be written as:

2 parts of water ------------------ 3 parts of Fruit Juice

X ------------------ 1 part of Fruit Juice

Where X is the parts of water that are mixed with 1 part of fruit juice. Solving for X we get:

`X=(2 * 1 )/(3)`

X=
`(2)/(3)` parts of water

Finally, for made the beverage, 1 part of fruit juice is mixed with
`(2)/(3)` parts of water.
