Question

Samir and Kylie are making fruit salads for a picnic. Samir mixes 1 cup of melon and 3 cups of apple and Kylie mixes 2 cups of melon and 9 cups of apple. Use Samir and Kylie’s percent of melon to determine whose fruit salad will taste more melony.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Samir total cups = 1 + 3 = 4

% melon = 1/4 x 100 = 25%

Kylie total cups = 2 + 9 = 11

% melon = 2/11 x 100 = 18%

Samir's is more melony. 25% > 18%
