Question

which which mixture tastes saltier explain how you know. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I'm not good at math sorry

Answer 1

The saltier mixture will have more teaspoons of salt per cups of water.

For mixure B, we have 2.5 cups of water per teaspoons of salt this is 1/2.5 = 0.4 teaspoons of salt per cups of water.

Now, we need to calculate the relation between teaspoons of salt per cups of water for mixture A, so:

`\begin{gathered} \text{We calculate the relation for the thr}ee\text{ rows in the table:} \\ 1)(4)/(5)=0.8\text{ teaspoons of salt/cups of water} \\ 2)(7)/(8(3)/(4))=0.8\text{ teaspoons of salt/cups of water} \\ 3)(9)/(11(1)/(4))=0.8\text{ teaspoons of salt/cups of water} \end{gathered}`

So, mixture A has the greater relation of teaspoons of salt per cups of water, so it's saltier than mixture B.
