Question

Soup A has 5 grams of sodium in every 6 cups. soup B has 8 grams in every 10 cups. which soup has more sodium per cup?

Answer 1

Soup A has more sodium per cup

Explanation:

Soup A has
`(5)/(6)` and Soup B has
`(8)/(10)`

This can be solved by looking at the fractions, you can see that for Soup A the difference between the denominator and numerator is 1 (6-5=1). Similarly, Soup B has a difference between the denominator and numerator of 2 (10-8=2). Therefore, Soup A has more sodium per cup.

If you need to be absolutely sure you can also do long division of 5÷6 which is
`(5)/(6) \approx 0.83` and Soup B
`(8)/(10)=0.8`. By looking at these decimals 0.83 is greater than 0.8 and so Soup A has more sodium per cup.

Answer 2

Soup A
