Question 24.
Use multiplication to find three ratios equivalent to 8 : 12.
Answer:
The three equivalent ratios of 8 : 12 are 16 : 24; 24: 36 and 32 : 48.
Explanation:
first we need to write the given ratio as fraction = 8/12
= (8 × 2)/(12 × 2)
= 16/24
= 16 : 24 (one equivalent ratio),
So, 16 : 24 is an equivalent ratio of 8 : 12.
Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 8 : 12 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio = 8/12
= (8 × 3)/(12 × 3)
= 24/36 is another equivalent ratio.
Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 8 : 12 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio = 8/12
= (8 × 4)/(12 × 4)
= 32/48 is another equivalent ratio.
Therefore, the three equivalent ratios of 8 : 12 are 16 : 24; 24: 36 and 32 : 48.

Question 25.
Use division to find all the whole number ratios equivalent to 168 : 56.
Answer:
84 : 28; 56: 18 and 42 : 14.
Explanation:
first we need to write the given ratio as fraction = 168/56
= (168 ÷ 2)/(56 ÷ 2)
= 84/28
So, 168 : 56 is an equivalent ratio of 84 : 28.
Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 168 : 56 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio = 168/56
= (168 ÷ 3)/(56 ÷ 3)
= 56/18
So, 168 : 56 is an equivalent ratio of 56 : 18.
Similarly again, we need to write the given ratio 168 : 56 as fraction to get another equivalent ratio = 168/56
= (168 ÷ 4)/(56 ÷ 4)
= 42/14
So, 168 : 56 is an equivalent ratio of 42 : 14.
Therefore, the two equivalent ratios of 168 : 56 are 84 : 28; 56: 18 and 42 : 14.

Question 35.
Judy uses 5 ounces of lemonade concentrate for every 9 ounces of orange juice concentrate to make a fruit punch.
Math in Focus Grade 6 Chapter 4 Lesson 4.2 Answer Key Equivalent Ratios 15
a) Find the ratio of the number of ounces of orange juice concentrate to the number of ounces of lemonade concentrate she uses.
Answer:
9 : 5
Explanation:
Judy uses 5 ounces of lemonade concentrate for every 9 ounces of orange juice concentrate to make a fruit punch.
The ratio of the orange juice and lemonade = 9 : 5

b) If Judy uses 36 ounces of orange juice concentrate to make the fruit punch, how many ounces of lemonade concentrate does she use?
Answer:
20 oz
Explanation:
If Judy uses 36 ounces of orange juice concentrate to make the fruit punch,
how many ounces of lemonade concentrate does she use
9 : 5 = 36 : ?
the product of means = the product of extremes
a:b :: c:d  = > a x d = b x c
(36 x 5) /9 = 180/9 = 20
9 : 5 = 36 : 20

c) If Judy uses 45 ounces of lemonade concentrate to make the fruit punch, how many ounces of orange juice concentrate does she use?
Answer:
81 oz
Explanation:
If Judy uses 45 ounces of lemonade concentrate to make the fruit punch,
how many ounces of orange juice concentrate does she use

Question 36.
In a science experiment, Farah mixed a salt solution and vinegar in the ratio 3 : 7.
a) If she used 262.8 milliliters of salt solution1 how much vinegar did she use?
Answer:
183.9ml
Explanation:
The ratio of vinegar to total mixture is 7 : 10
The 10 is 3 + 7.  Out of 10 ml, 3 will be Salt and 7 will be Vinegar.
7/10 = V/262.8
1839.6 = 10V
V = 183.9 ml

b) If 0.56 liter of vinegar was used, how much salt solution did she use?
Answer:
78.84 ml
Explanation:
The ratio of salt to total mixture is 3 : 10
The 10 is 3 + 7.  Out of 10 ml, 3 will be Salt and 7 will be Vinegar.
3/10 = Salt/262.8
262.8 x 3 = 10S
788.4 = 10S
S = 788.4/10
S = 78.84 ml
