If 50% is water, the other 50% must be composed of orange, apple and mango juice
The orange comprises 3/6 = 1/2 of 50% = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of the total mix
The apple comprises 2/6 of 50% = 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6 of the total mix
And the mango comprises 1/6 of 50% = 1/6 * 1/2 = 1/12 of the total mix
So....in 36 litres of fruit juice
Orange comprises 1/4 of the 36 litres = 9 litres
Apple comprises 1/6 of 36 litres = 6 litres
And mange comprises 1/12 of the 36 litres = 3 litres
