The two chocolate milks are equally chocolatey.

Answer 1

Choice A

Explanation:

In order to find how chocolatey the milk is, we need to find the unit rate- or how many mL of chocolate syrup each parent puts in per ounce of milk.

First, we need to find the unit rate of Nell's mom's chocolate milk.

30 mL= 2 oz

15 mL= 1 oz

Next, we find the unit rate of Nell's dad's chocolate milk.

65 mL= 5 oz

13 mL= 1 oz

Now we compare the amount of chocolate syrup per ounce of milk for both parents.

15 mL > 13 mL

Thus, we find that Nell's mom's chocolate milk is more chocolatey.
