Mangos Used Smoothie Size
Angela 1 9 oz
Kim 3 27 oz
Bri 4 36 oz


Which statement is correct based on the data?
The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela.
The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is 1:9, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is 4:27.
The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is higher than the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim.
The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is 9:1, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is 4:36.

Answer 1

1. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela.

Explanation:

Let’s calculate the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for each person:

Angela: 9 oz / 1 mango = 9 oz/mango

Kim: 27 oz / 3 mangos = 9 oz/mango

Bri: 36 oz / 4 mangos = 9 oz/mango

So, the correct statement based on the data is:

1. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela.

This is because both ratios are 9 oz/mango.

The other statements are incorrect based on the calculations.

Answer 2

The first statement is correct because Kim’s ratio is 3 times more than Angela’s.
1 x 3 = 3
9 x 3 = 27
