You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The basic unit used is ml, for volume.
Let V=volume in ml, unknown.

%281%2F3%29V is the volume in ml, of the orange juice.
%281%2F3%29V%2B20%2B40=V is the accounting for volumes.
Multiply left side and right side by 3 and continue steps to solve for V.

V%2B60%2B120=3V
0%2B180=2V
highlight%28V=90%29
