Problem: 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 the ` ` sport ' ' formulation contains 3 ounces of corn syrup , how many ounces of water does it contain ?
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 = 3 * 180 / 12 = 45 ounces of water answer : a
