(Choice C)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: B

Answer 2

Option B. It is not garlicky enough.

Explanation:

we know that

Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has 8 cloves of garlic in every 500 mL, of sauce

so

The ratio is
`(8)/(500)(cloves\ of\ garlic)/(mL)`

Raphael's tomato sauce has 12 cloves of garlic in every 900 mL of sauce.

so

The ratio is
`(12)/(900)(cloves\ of\ garlic)/(mL)`

Multiply the ratio of the perfect tomato sauce by 1.8 both numerator and denominator

`(8*1.8)/(500*1.8)=(14.4)/(900)(cloves\ of\ garlic)/(mL)`

Compare the ratio of the perfect tomato sauce with the ratio of Raphael's tomato sauce

`(14.4)/(900)(cloves\ of\ garlic)/(mL) > (12)/(900)(cloves\ of\ garlic)/(mL)`

therefore

The cloves of garlic in Raphael's tomato sauce is less than the cloves of garlic in the perfect tomato sauce
