Answer 1

4/15 < 5/16

Ingredient C < Ingredient D

Hence ingredient C has a lower cup per serving than ingredient D

Explanation:

Given the unit rates :

C: 1/5 cup for 3/4 serving or Ingredient

D: 1/4 cup for 4/5 serving

C : 1/5 cup for 3/4 serving

1/5 ÷ 3/4

1/5 * 4/3

= 4 / 15

= 0.2667

D: 1/4 cup for 4/5 serving

1/4 ÷ 4/5

1/4 * 5/4

= 5 / 16

= 0.3125

5/16 > 4/15 ;

Ingredient C < Ingredient D

Hence ingredient C has a lower cup per serving than ingredient D
