Question

Sylvia and her friends mixed 6 quarts of pineapple juice and 4 quarts of sparkling water to make a fruity drink. The next week, they mixed 5 quarts of pineapple juice and 3 quarts of sparkling water. Which describes the tastes of two different batches

Answer 1

The change of concentration surely made the difference since the last drink contained more juice with respect to the water

Explanation:

The concentration of a drink

We can know how much of a certain ingredient there is with respect to the entire mix. This is known as the concentration and is commonly expressed in percentage %

Sylvia and her friends made a drink with 6 quarts of pineapple juice in 4 quarts of sparkling water. The total quantity of water is 10 quarts, so the concentration of pineapple juice is

`(4)/(10)=(2)/(5)=40\%`

The next week, their drink consisted of 5 quarts of pineapple juice and 3 quarts of sparkling water, so the new concentration is

`(5)/(8)=62.5\%`

The change of concentration surely made the difference since the last drink contained more juice with respect to the water
