For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 311ml of sucrose and 271ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of water, sucrose and saline solution needed as a ratio in its simplest form.

1000 : 311 : 271

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to express the amount of water, sucrose and saline solution needed as a ratio in its simplest form, we must first state all the items in the same measurement class.

Sucrose ad Saline solution required are known in ml hence we would convert the amount of water given to ml.

We know that

1 litre = 1000 ml hence the ratio required of the amount of water to sucrose to saline solution

= 1000 : 311 : 271
