Question

Latoya and Parker are planning an end of school party for the computer club at their school. They each suggest a recipe for punch to serve at the party.

Latoya's Recipe: 2 1/5 parts crabapple juice 1 4/5 parts lemonade
Parker's Recipe: 2 1/2 parts cranapple juice 3 1/2 parts lemonade
For each recipe, write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts.

Answer 1

Answer:they are right

Explanation:

Answer 2

Latoya's recipe: 9:20

Parker's recipe: 7:12

Explanation:

Latoya's recipe:

Cranapple juice -
`2(1)/(5)` parts

Lemonade -
`1(4)/(5)` parts

Total -
`2(1)/(5)+1(4)/(5)=(1+2)+(1)/(5)+(4)/(5)=3+(5)/(5)=3+1=4` parts

Ratio

`\frac{\text{parts of lemonade}}{\text{total parts}}=(1(4)/(5))/(4)=((9)/(5))/(4)=(9)/(20)`

Parker's recipe:

Cranapple juice -
`2(1)/(2)` parts

Lemonade -
`3(1)/(2)` parts

Total -
`2(1)/(2)+3(1)/(2)=(2+3)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)=5+(2)/(25)=5+1=6` parts

Ratio

`\frac{\text{parts of lemonade}}{\text{total parts}}=(3(1)/(2))/(6)=((7)/(2))/(6)=(7)/(12)`

Now,

`(9)/(20)=(54)/(120)\\ \\(7)/(12)=(70)/(120)`

Since
`(70)/(120)>(54)/(120)` Parker's lemonade has stronger lemonade taste
