Question

7/8 of a can of coke is water, the rest is syrup. What is the
ratio of water to syrup?

Answer 1

Answer is 7:1 ratio water to syrup

Step by step.

7/8 water means 1/8 syrup, (7/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 or 1 whole) so the parts we want are eighths.

7 eighths syrup to 1 eighth water is 7 parts syrup to 1 part water, or a ratio of 7:1.

Problem solved!

Answer 2

hi

the whole can is 8/8

if 7/8 is water,

then syrup is : 8/8 -7/8 = 1/8
