Answer 1

A cran apple juice blend is mixed in a ratio of cranberry to apple of 1 to 2.

Part A) Consider following table:

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Cranberry}&\text{Apple}\\10&20\\12&24\\14&38\\16&32\\18&36\\20&40\end{array}$

Part B) Since

$\dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{12}{24}=\dfrac{14}{28}=\dfrac{16}{32}=\dfrac{18}{36}=\dfrac{20}{40}=\dfrac{1}{2},$ you can state that these quantities are proportional with the ratio 1:2.
