Question

Ari thinks the perfect milkshake has 3 ounces of caramel for every 5 scoops of ice cream. Freeze Zone makes batches of milkshakes with 6 ounces of caramel and 8 scoops of ice cream. What will Ari think about Freeze Zone's milkshakes?

Answer 1

Ari will think that there is not enough ice cream for the amount of caramel.

3:5 and 6:8 are not equivalent

But let's prove that;

We know that 3 x 2 is 6, so let's multiply 3 x 2 and 5 x 2, when we do so, we get 6:10.

6:10 is greater than 6:8, so there is obviously less ice cream for the amount of caramel.
