Directions

What if we want to make 5 times the original amount of orange juice? The original recipe calls for 3 cups water and 1 cup orange juice concentrate. The ratio of water to concentrate is 3:1.

To make 5 times the recipe, we multiply both terms in the 3:1 ratio by 5. The new ratio is 15:5.

 

 

If we make 4 times as much orange juice, what is the ratio of water to concentrate? Write the ratio with a colon.

Don't type any spaces between the numbers and the colon.
