Question

The graph below shows the numbers of cups of kiwi juice that are mixed with different numbers of cups of lemon-lime soda to make servings of kiwi soda:

What is the ratio of the number of cups of kiwi juice to the number of cups of lemon-lime soda? (5 points)

Answer 1

4:1

Explanation:

4 cups of kiwi juice for every cup of lemon lime soda

Answer 2

4 to 1 (4:1)

Explanation:

Take any pinpoint on the graph, and notice that for every 1 cup of soda (x-axis), there's 4x the amount of cups of juice (y-axis). Another way is to take any of those pinpoints, divide the number on the y-axis (left) by the number on the x-axis (bottom)... so 4/1, 8/2, 12/3 and so on. As you go up, they're all bigger fractions of the same thing: 4/1. Hope this helped!
