D Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio 1:3:5, total parts = 9. Total ounces = 27. Each part = 27 / 9 = 3 ounces. Lime = 1 * 3 = 3. Grape = 5 * 3 = 15. Difference = 15 - 3 = 12.

AI explanation

The juices lime, orange, and grape are mixed in a ratio of 1 to 3 to 5, meaning there are 9 total parts in the mixture. Since Alice pours 27 ounces into her glass, one part is equal to 27 divided by 9, which is 3 ounces. The difference between the grape juice and lime juice is 5 parts minus 1 part, equaling 4 parts. Multiplying this 4 parts by 3 ounces per part gives a difference of 12 ounces.
