Yesterday's soup of the day at The Navy Spoon restaurant was split pea and ham soup. The chef made a large pot to start the day. He added 4 cups of ham to 16 cups of pea soup. By dinnertime, it had sold out! The chef made another, smaller batch to last the rest of the night, adding 2 cups of ham to 8 cups of pea soup. Which batch of soup had a stronger ham flavor?

Answer:

Neither batch of soup.

Explanation:

4/16 is equal to 2/8 if you use their common denominator, 16.

To get to 4/16, you multiply 2/8 by 2 since they both go into that.

2 x 2 = 4, 8 x 2 = 16.

To get to 2/8, you divide 4/16 by 4 since they go into this.

4 divided by 4 = 1, 16 divided by 4 = 4 which is 1/4.

Then, you go back to 2/8.

2 divided by 2 = 1, 8 divided by 2 = 4.

Boom. They are equal to each other.
