The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Understand the initial mixture The initial mixture consists of: - 4 parts of water - 1 part of drink mix ### Step 2: Calculate the new amounts after changes According to the problem: - The amount of water is doubled: \[ \text{New water amount} = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ parts} \] - The amount of drink mix is quadrupled: \[ \text{New drink mix amount} = 4 \times 1 = 4 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 3: Find the total amount of the new mixture Now, we can find the total amount of the new mixture: \[ \text{Total mixture} = \text{New water amount} + \text{New drink mix amount} = 8 + 4 = 12 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the fraction of drink mix in the new mixture To find the fraction of the drink mix in the new mixture: \[ \text{Fraction of drink mix} = \frac{\text{New drink mix amount}}{\text{Total mixture}} = \frac{4}{12} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 5: Convert the fraction to a percentage To convert the fraction \(\frac{1}{3}\) into a percentage: \[ \text{Percentage of drink mix} = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33\% \] ### Final Answer The new mixture contains approximately \(33 \frac{1}{3}\%\) of drink mix. ---
