Question

A recipe that makes 3 servings calls for 3/5 cup of apple juice and 3/4 cup of cranberry juice.

How many cups of juice are there per serving?

Answer 1

A. 4 1/20
B. 1 7/20
C. 2/3
D. 9/20

Answer 2

35+34
we need first find a common denominator..a number both 5 and 4 go into evenly..20 seems about right so we need to multiply the whole first fraction by 4 to make the denominator 20...and the whole second fraction by 5 to make that denominator 20 so
44×35+55×34
this will come out to
1220+1520
which will equal
2720

Answer 3

B or d i thiank

Answer 4

3/5 + 3/4 = 12/20 + 15/20 = 27/20 (total juice)

3/(27/20) = 1/ (x) --- 3 servings to 27/20 juice = 1 serving to x juice
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (27/20)(1)
3x = 27/20 -- divide by 3
x = (27/20) / 3
x = 27/20 * 1/3
x = 27/60 which reduces to 9/20
