In the standard formulation of a flavored drink the ratio by volume of flavoring to corn syrup to water is 1 : 12 : 30. In the sport formulation, the ratio of flavoring to corn syrup is three times as great as in the standard formulation, and the ratio of flavoring to water is half that of the standard formulation. If a large bottle of thesportformulation contains 5 ounces of corn syrup, how many ounces of water does it contain? Answers:
A) 45
B) 50
C) 55
D) 60
E) 75

Rationale: "f : c : w 1 : 12 : 30 sport version : f : c 3 : 12 f : w 1 : 60 or 3 : 180 so c : f : w = 12 : 3 : 180 c / w = 12 / 180 = 3 ounces / x ounces x = 5 * 180 / 12 = 75 ounces of water e"
Answer: E
