Question

This morning, Megan and her dad had smoothies for breakfast. Megan made her smoothie with 1 cup of mango and 3 cups of strawberries. Her dad made a giant smoothie with 2 cups of mango and 6 cups of strawberries. Did the smoothies have the same ratio of mango to strawberries?

yes or no

Answer 1

Answer: yes its a 3:1 ratio

3 cups of strawberries

per 1 cup of mango

Explanation:

so the best way i can try to explain it is this...

1 2 they both need a

_ x _ common denominator so

3 6 you need to multiply the smaller one to equal

the bottom number of the other one

oorr divide the big number on the bottom to equal

the smaller number on the bottom of the left

equation.

soooo 2 times (1:3) equals (2:6)

or divide by 2 to (2:6) to equal the denominator of 3 (same as smaller)
