Honors Problem 1

Question

Marta is making mixed fruit juice. She mixes 0.5 gallon of apple juice, 0.75 gallon of peach juice, and 1 gallon of orange juice.



What percentage of the mixed fruit juice is peach juice?



Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

The total quantity of fruit juice is 0.5 + 0.75 + 1 = 2.25 gallons.

 

The percentage of peach juice is 0.75/2.25 = 1/3 = 33.3%.
