Question

HELLO!! I need help with this question, will you help me?

Charla and Rae both make a pitcher of lemonade. Charla makes her pitcher using 2 cups of mix and 6 cups of water. Rae makes her pitcher using 3 cups of mix and 7 cups of water. Whose lemonade will have a stronger flavor?

A. Charla’s lemonade will taste stronger.
B. Rae’s lemonade will taste stronger.
C. The two lemonade mixtures will taste the same.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Charla uses 2 cups of mix per 6 cups of water.

2/6 = 1/3

Rae uses 3 cups of mix per 7 cups of water.

3/7

To compare these fractions, we need to find the common denominator. In this case, it's 21.

1/3 = 7/21

3/7 = 9/21

9/21 is greater than 7/21, so Rae's lemonade will taste stronger.
