Question

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: A It is too strong. B It is too weak. C It is just right.

Answer 1

C its just right

Explanation:

Answer 2

C. It is just right.

Explanation:

We want to compare the ratios ...

bags : liters = 15 : 2

and

bags : liters = 90 : 12

If we multiply the numbers of the first ratio by 6, we see they are identical to those in the second ratio:

(15)(6) : (2)(6) = 90 : 12

The ratio of bags to liters for Peggy's tea matches the ratio Kermit likes. He will think it is just right.
