Answer:

C) Jo's drink will have a stronger orange taste

Explanation:

tropical punch calls for 2 liters of pineapple juice and 3 liters of orange juice.

total is 2+3 = 5 liters

pineapple = 2/5

orange = 3/5

Jo creates a drink by mixing 3 liters of pineapple juice with 4

total = 7

pineapple = 3/7

orange = 4/7

Get a common denominator to compare

5 and 7 = 35

tropical punch

pineapple = 2/5 *7/7 = 14/35

orange = 3/5*7/7 = 21/35

Jo

pineapple = 3/7*5/5 = 15/35

orange = 4/7*5/5 = 28/35

Jo will have both a stronger pineapple and orange taste than the tropical drink and the orange will be stronger than the pineapple in her drink
