Question

To make his special energy drink Jerome uses 8 cups of water and 3 cups of drink mix. What is the ratio of drink mix to mixed energy drink?​

Answer 1

The ratio of drink mix to mixed energy drink is 3:11

8 cups water

3 cups drink mix

We already know the amount of drink mix because the problem gives it to us (3 cups)

As for the amount of mixed energy drink we have to add the two values to get the total.

8 + 3 = 11

Hence the ratio of drink mix to mixed energy drink is 3:11

hope that helps :)
