24 oz of juice p and 25 oz of juice t are mixed to make smothies x and y. the ratio of p to t in smothie x is 4 is to 1 and that in y is 1 is to 5. how many ounces of juice p are contained in the smothie x?
subtract(24, divide(subtract(multiply(4, 25), 24), subtract(multiply(4, 5), 1)))
easy way to solve this question is start from the answer and then conform the information provided in the question . we can start from option d i . e 20 . . . as a quantity of juice p in x because it is the only one option that gets divided by 4 is 20 . . . since in the x the juice p to t ratio is 4 : 1 this gives us that quantity of juice p in x = 20 therefore quantity of juice t will be 5 . . . hence ratio = 4 : 1 this will lead to quantity of juice p in x = 4 and quantity of juice t = 20 . . . hence ratio 1 : 5 if we calculate total juice p = 24 and total of juice v = 25 it fits because totals are same as what mentioned in the question . . . thus ans is d
