Correct question is;

Kermit's favorite iced tea is made with 15 tea bags in every 2 liters of water. Peggy made a 12-liter batch of iced tea with 90 tea bags. What will Kermit think of Peggy's iced tea? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A It is too strong.

(Choice B) B It is too weak.

(Choice C, Checked) C It is just right.

Answer:

C - It is just right

Explanation:

We are given that;

The Number of tea bags needed to make every 2 liters of water = 15 tea bags.

Thus,

For each liter of water, the number of tea bags needed = 15/2 = 7.5 tea bags.

Now, kermit needs to make 12 liters of iced tea.

Therefore, total number of tea bags required for 12 liters of iced tea = 12 × 7.5 = 90 tea bags.

Now, Peggy also took 90 tea bags to make a 12-liter batch of iced tea.

Therefore, kermit would think that the mixture of Peggy's tea is just right.

Correct option is C
