well idk how you got 22.

bc it's 1:6 (1 being OJ concentrate and 6 being water)
then we need to get from 6 to 18, and to do so we multiply it by 3 bc 6x3=18
since me multiplied the bottom by 3, we need to multiply the tip by 3.
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }=\frac{ ? }{ 18 }\]

so then what is 1x3 ?

Answer 5

Answer 6
