You use a juice mix to make orange juice. You combine 12 ounces of the mix with 36 ounces of water. Which is a unit rate that describes your juice?

Respuesta :

12 ounces of juice mix         1 ounce of juice mix
__________________ = __________________
36 ounces of water             3 ounces of water

For every ounce of juice mix, there are 3 ounces of water. 

Hopefully, this answers your question.

Answer:

The unit rate is: a mix of juice = 12/36 or 1/3 of water

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is commonly expressed as a fraction, in this case, the problem says that you combine 12 ounces of mix with 36 ounces of water.

So we can express this as 12/36 = 1/3

This means that you need 1/3 of water to know how many of the mix you need.

For example, if we now say that we need 50 ounces of water we multiply:

50* 1/3 = 16.66 ounces of mix.
