Question

When Arjun makes hot cocoa, he adds 20ml of chocolate syrup for every 3 ounces of hot water. Arjun's brother, Eli, adds 45mL of chocolate syrup for every 6 ounces of hot water.

Which hot cocoa is more chocolatey?.

Answer 1

Eli

Explanation:

To find the most chocolately, analyze the unit rate per 1 ounce. The unit rate with more chocolate in ml per 1 ounce will be more chocolately.

To find the unit rate, create a fraction of syrup over hot water.

Arjun -
`(20ml)/(3)= 6.67` ml per 1 ounce

Eli -
`(45ml)/(6) = 7.5` ml per 1 ounce

Eli's is greater and therefore more chocolately.
