Question

Is It 1/9? since I pursued 450/50 = 1/9

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{8}{9}$ is water

Step-by-step explanation:

450 ml of squash with 50 ml of cordial , then

amount of water = 450 - 50 = 400 ml

Fraction of water = $\frac{400}{450}$ ( divide numerator/ denominator by 50 )

fraction of water = $\frac{8}{9}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

it is the other way around based on the description.

450 ml are made by mixing (diluting) 50 ml with water.

that means that of the 450 ml 50 ml are cordial, and the rest (450-50 = 400 ml) is water.

therefore, 1/9 is the fraction of cordial, but 8/9 is the fraction of water.

50/450 = 1/9

400/450 = 8/9
