Explanation:
To determine the amounts of orange juice, apple juice, and coconut milk needed in the fruit cocktail, we can use the given ratio and the fact that there are 5 more ounces of orange juice than apple juice.
Let's assign a variable to the amount of apple juice, let's call it 'x'.
Since the ratio of orange juice to apple juice is 3:2, the amount of orange juice is 3x, and since there are 5 more ounces of orange juice, the amount of orange juice is (3x + 5). Since the ratio of coconut milk to apple juice is 4:2 (or 2:1), the amount of coconut milk is 2x.
Therefore, the correct answer is option d) 5 ounces of orange juice, 4 ounces of apple juice, and 1 ounce of coconut milk.
