Calculate Fractions: Finding Components in a 600ml Juice Mixture

Question

A bottle contains 600 ml of a juice.

The juice is made up of 12 \frac{1}{2} ml of apple juice and 14 \frac{1}{4} ml of pineapple juice.

How many ml of apples and pineapple juice are there in the drink?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Determine the amount of apple juice.
  • Determine the amount of pineapple juice.
  • Add the two amounts to find the total quantity.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Determine the amount of apple juice.

The juice is made up of 12\frac{1}{2} of apple juice. Therefore, the amount of apple juice is calculated as follows:

(12)×600=300 ml \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times 600 = 300 \text{ ml}

Step 2: Determine the amount of pineapple juice.

The juice is made up of 14\frac{1}{4} of pineapple juice. Therefore, the amount of pineapple juice is calculated as follows:

(14)×600=150 ml \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \times 600 = 150 \text{ ml}

Step 3: Add the two amounts to find the total quantity of apple and pineapple juices.

300+150=450 ml 300 + 150 = 450 \text{ ml}

Therefore, the total amount of apple and pineapple juice together is 450 ml\text{450 ml}, which corresponds to choice 2. Hence, the final answer is:

The correct answer to the problem is 450450.

Answer

450
