The recipe calls for 5 parts strawberry juice to 3 parts water. carmen would like to make 64 fluid ounces of the strawberry drink. how many fluid ounces of strawberry juice and water does carmen need?

We are given: Strawberry juice = 5 parts and

Water quantity = 3 parts .

Ratio of Strawberry juice to Water is = 5 : 3.

Total fluid ounces of the strawberry drink need to make = 64 ounces.

Let us assume strawberry juice need = x ounces.

So, the water would be need = Total fluid - strawberry juice  = 64 -x ounces.

The ratio of Strawberry juice to Water would reamain same 5:3.

So, we can setup a proportion now.

On cross multiplying, we get

x*3=5 *(64-x)

Distibuting 5 over (64-x), we get

3x = 5 * 64 - 5*x

3x = 320 -5x

Adding 5x on both sides, we get

3x+5x = 320-5x +5x

8x = 320

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x = 40

So, strawberry juice need = 40 ounces.

Water would be need = 64 - 40 = 24 ounces.

Therefore, 40 ounces of strawberry juice and 24 ounces of water carmen needs to make 64 fluid ounces of the strawberry drink.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
