Question

Four friends are trying to make spicy chili each of them uses a different amount of hot sauce to make chili which ratio of hot sauce makes the spiciest chili?

A) 15 tsp hot sauce for 6 pt of chili

B) 18 tsp hot sauce for 15 pt of chili

C) 12 tsp hot sauce for 8 pt chili

D) 24 tsp hot sauce for pt chili

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

change ratios to fractions: 15/6, 18/15, 12/8, 24/10

common denominator is 60 so new fractions become:

150/60, 72/60, 90/60, 144/60 - A has the most spice!

of course you could reduce the first set of fractions and choose a common denominator of 10. Either way the answer is the same.
