Four large oranges are squeezed to make six glasses of juice . How much juice can be made from six oranges?

a) the number of glasses compared to the number of oranges will always be in the ratio 3 to 2.
b)with more oranges the diffrence will be less.
c)the difference in the numbers will always be two.
d)with four oranges the difference was two , with six oranges the difference would be more.
e)there is no way of predicting.

Respuesta :

Its gonna be A...

6/4 = x/6....6 glasses to 4 oranges = x glasses to 6 oranges
cross multiply
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9

6/4 and 9/6 both reduce to 3/2 or the ratio 3:2
