Question

Orange-Strawberry Punch
Parts Orange Juice
4
Parts Strawberry Juice
5

Kirsty decides to increase the strawberry juice by one part. What is the new ratio of strawberry juice to orange juice?
For every 4 parts orange juice there are 4 parts strawberry juice.
For every 5 parts orange juice there are 4 parts strawberry juice.
For every 4 parts orange juice there are 6 parts strawberry juice.
For every 5 parts orange juice there are 6 parts strawberry juice.

Answer 1

Initially, Kirsty has a ratio of 4 parts orange juice to 5 parts strawberry juice.

When she increases the strawberry juice by one part, the new amount of strawberry juice becomes: \[ 5 + 1 = 6 \text{ parts (strawberry juice)} \]

The ratio of strawberry juice to orange juice is now:

• Strawberry Juice: 6 parts
• Orange Juice: 4 parts

This means the new ratio of strawberry juice to orange juice is 6:4, which can also be simplified to 3:2.

However, since the answer options provided do not refer to this simplified ratio, we can state that for every 4 parts of orange juice there are now 6 parts of strawberry juice.

Therefore, the answer is: For every 4 parts orange juice, there are 6 parts strawberry juice.
