Ana uses 3/4 cup of china juice for every 1/3 cup of lemon juice to make a soda. What is the ratio of cups of china juice to cups of lemon juice?

Solution

To find the ratio of cups of china juice to cups of lemon juice, we divide

`(3)/(4)`

by

`(1)/(3)`and simplify.

We set up the division as follows:

`(3)/(4) / (1)/(3)`

Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

`(3)/(4) * (3)/(1)`

This gives us;

`(3 * 3)/(4 * 1)`

We then obtain:

`(9)/(4)`

Therefore the ratio of cups of china juice to cups of lemon juice is 9:4
