Two blended fruit juices are made from mixing pure juices in the following ratios:
Morning Delight: 3:1:5 for juices A, B and C respectively
Tropical Surprise: 2:3:3 for juices A, B and C respectively

120 litres of juice A is used to make Tropical Surprise. How many litres of Morning Delight could the same amount of juice A make?

For every three liters of A you need 1 liter of B and 5 liters of C to make "Morning Delight".

120= 3(40) so you have 40 sets of "three liters".
120= 3(40)

If I understand the problem correctly, you begin with 120 L of juice A. The Morning Delight ratio of 3:1:5 (A:B:C) is the same thing as 3:6 (A:the other juices). In other words, you will need twice as much B and C combined as you have of A. Since you have 120 L of A, you need 240 L of B and C combined, a total of 360 L.
