Question

Nell's mom makes chocolate syrup with 30ml for every chocolate syrup for every 2 ounces of milk. Nell's dad adds 65ml of chocolate syrup for every 5 ounces of milk. Who's chocolate milk is more chocolatey?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Nell's mom.

Explanation:

Nell's mom makes chocolate syrup with 30 ml for every chocolate syrup for every 2 ounces of milk.

Nell's dad adds 65 ml of chocolate syrup for every 5 ounces of milk.

To compare who makes a more chocolaty drink we need to have same amount of milk.

Least common multiple of 2 and 5 is given by 10.

Thus in 10 ounces of milk, Nell's mom adds 30 × 5 = 150 ml of chocolate syrup.

In 10 ounces of milk, Nell's dad adds 65 × 2 = 130 ml of chocolate syrup.

Thus on comparison we can say Nell's mom adds more chocolate syrup and hence makes a more chocolaty milk.
