To make juice, you mix cans of concentrate with water in the ratio of 2 to 6. How many cans of water would you need to mix with five cans of concentrate? Explain.

Are you looking for the answer or the formula?

What grade?

I'm looking for the answer and I'm in grade 6.

It's a simple multiplication exercise.

so ratio is 2:6
you want 5:x

Can you work it out from here?

I don't know why but I don't get it. Can you please explain further?

OK I'll give you the next stage, but from there you will have to work it out for yourself.

so from 2:6 = 5:x
therefore
5/2 = x/6

So now work it through..
