Question

A truck is carrying passion fruit juice, cherry juice, and mango juice bottles in a ratio 1:2;7. If there are 34 cherry juice bottles, then how many mango juice bottles are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

119 bottles

Explanation:

The given ratio is:

$\text{Passion Fruit juice: Cherry juice: Mango juice=1:2:7}$

There are 34 cherry juice bottles.

Let the total number of mango juice bottles = y.

Then, comparing cherry juice and mango juice:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{7}=\frac{34}{y} \\ 2y=34\times7 \\ y=\frac{34\times7}{2} \\ y=119 \end{gathered}$

There are 119 bottles of mango juice.
