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 ?
standard : fl : corn s : water = 1 : 12 : 30 sport : fl : corn s : water = 3 : 12 : 180 this simplifies to 1 : 4 : 60 if the large bottle has a capacity of x ounces , then 4 x / 65 = 5 . so , x = 325 / 4 ounces . water = ( 60 / 65 ) * ( 325 / 4 ) = 60 * 3 / 4 = 75 ounces . ans d
multiply(divide(multiply(divide(1, 12), const_3), divide(divide(1, 30), const_2)), 5)
