Problem Solving

To make an apple juice 1 can of frozen juice concentrate is to be mixed with 3 cans of water. How many 12 ounce cans of concentrate are required to make 200 6-ounce servings of apple juice?

a. 25
b. 34
c. 50
d. 67
e. 100

The OA is A. Can anyone plz explain this to me?

With 1 can of frozen juice I can make 4 cans of juice....
So if i need 200 6 ounce servings (i.e 12 100 ounce servings)
I will need 100/4 = 25 cans of concentrate

Hope this makes sense

Hi ,

for every 1 part of the concentrate we need 3 parts of water .......or for

every 1 part of the concentrate we need 4 parts of juice.

now let us have x number of 12 ounce cans of concentrate.... the juice

that can be made will be 48x ounces.

the question asks u about 200*6 ounce of juice....hence we will require

200*6 / 48 =25 of 12 ounce concentrate.

Thanks jawanindia2007 and preetha_85. I get it now.
