Question

Raspberry Punch
Parts Ginger Ale
2
Parts Raspberry Juice
3

Matteo decides to add one part of raspberry juice. What is the new ratio of ginger ale to raspberry juice?
2 parts ginger ale to 3 parts raspberry juice
2 parts ginger ale to 4 parts raspberry juice
3 parts ginger ale to 3 parts raspberry juice
3 parts ginger ale to 4 parts raspberry juice

Answer 1

Originally, the ratio of ginger ale to raspberry juice is 2 parts ginger ale to 3 parts raspberry juice. If Matteo adds one part of raspberry juice, the new amounts are:

• Ginger ale: 2 parts
• Raspberry juice: 3 parts + 1 part = 4 parts

So the new ratio is:

2 parts ginger ale to 4 parts raspberry juice.

Thus, the correct answer is: 2 parts ginger ale to 4 parts raspberry juice.
