Answer:
6 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Renata's recipe for her famous Kale 'n' Clam Quencher calls for kale juice and clam juice in a 3:1 ratio.
If Renata pours 18 liters of fresh kale juice, how many liters of clam juice should she add to maintain this ratio?
Solution:
Ratio to be maintain by using kale juice and clam juice = 3 : 1 ( given)
Renata pours fresh kale juice = 18 liters
We have to calculate quantity of clam juice should be added to maintain this ratio:-
Let quantity of clam juice should be added = [tex]x[/tex]
Ratio to be maintain : : quantity of kale juice : quantity of clam juice
[tex]3 : 1=18:x\\ \\ \frac{3}{1} =\frac{18}{x} \\ \\[/tex]
By cross multiplication:
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
By dividing both sides by 3
[tex]x=6\ liters[/tex]
Thus, 6 liters of clam juice should she add.
