To make juice in the smaller container, you use 1/2 cup of concentated juice and fill the rest with water. Find the amount of concentrated juice needed to make juice in the larger container. (Hint: Start by finding the ratio of the volumes of the containers.)\r

\n" ); document.write( "Ratio of the volumes of the containers is 8:27.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, volume are 8x and 27x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "amount of concentrate juice for 8x is 1/2 cup.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, amount of concentrate juice for 1x is 1/(2*8) cup.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and amount of concentrate juice for 27x is [ 1/(2*8)]*27 cup.
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "answer : 27/16 cup\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
