Question

Molly is making strawberry infused water. For each ounce of strawberry juice, she uses three times as many ounces of water. How many ounces of strawberry juice and how many ounces of water does she need to make 84 ounces of strawberry infused water

Answer 1

21 ounces of juice.

63 ounces of water

Explanation:

let :

x = ounces of strawberry juice to make the strawberry infused water.

3x = ounces of water needed to make the strawberry infused water.

3x + x = 84

4x = 84

divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = 21 ounces

3x = 3 x 21 = 63 ounces
