Question

Nell's mom makes chocolate milk with 30mL of chocolate syrup for every 2 ounces of milk. Nell's dad adds 65 mL of chocolate syrup for every 5 ounces of milk. Whose chocolate milk is more chocolatey?

Answer 1

The mom’s milk is more chocolatey

Answer 2

The more 'chocolatey' chocolate milk is the one prepared by Nell's mom.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by establishing the ratio of chocolate syrup for one ounce of milk in each beverage.

For mom's chocolate milk:

`(30mL)/(2ounces) = 15(mL)/(ounce)`

For dad's chocolate milk:

`(65mL)/(5ounces) = 13(mL)/(ounce)`

We know that:

15 > 13

So we can conclude that mom's chocolate milk is more 'chocolatey'.
