Ratios

72 ml of orange juice you need 56 ml of apple juice and 120 ml of coconut milk

this means the ratio is in the form:

apple juice : coconut milk :orange juice

this becomes ;

56 : 120: 72

the number 8 is common in all 3 . hence divide each number by 8


(56)/(8) : (120)/(8): (72)/(8)

this becomes:

7 : 15 : 9

the simplified ratio is 7 : 15 : 9
