Answer: Samantha's Recipe:
Ratio of lemonade = 2 1/2 : 6
Caden's Recipe:
Ratio of lemonade = 15 : 32
Explanation:
Samantha's Recipe
3 1/2 parts cranapple juice
2 1/2 parts lemonade
Caden's Recipe
4 1/4 parts cranapple juice
3 3/4 parts lemonade
For each recipe, write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts.
Solution:
For Samantha's Recipe:
Total number of parts = cranapple juice parts + lemonade parts = 3.5 + 2.5 = 6.0
Ratio of lemonade to total number of parts = (2.5)/(6.0) = 2 1/2 : 6
For Caden's Recipe:
Total number of parts = cranapple juice parts + lemonade parts =(17/4)+(15/4) = (32/4) = 8
Therefore, Ratio of lemonade to total number of parts = (15/4) / (8) =(15)/(32) = 15:32
