Answer 1

Han's mixture, Claire's mixture

Explanation:

I figured out the percentage of orange juice for each person's mixture:

For Claire:

2 1/2 + 1/3 = 2 5/6

2 5/6 as a decimal: about 2.8

Now find what percent of Claire's total mixture was orange juice:

100 * 1/3 / 2.8 = about 11.9%

For Han:

1 2/3 + 1/4 = 1 11/12

1 11/12 as a decimal: about 1.9

Now find what percent of Han's total mixture was orange juice:

100 * 1/4 / 1.9 = 13.2%

So, Han's mixture is stronger, since his has the higher percentage of orange juice concentrate
