Question

You make a carbonated beverage by adding 7 ounces of soda water for every 3 ounces of regular water. Your friend uses 11 ounces of soda water for every 4 ounces of regular water. Whose beverage is more carbonated? Create a ratio table for each. Then compare.

Answer 1

Second beverage

Explanation:

The proportion of soda in the drink will show us how carbonated a beverage is. The proportion of soda is the ounce of soda divided by the sum of the soda and water.

Proportion of soda in the first beverage

`(7)/(7+3)=(7)/(10)=0.7`

Proportion of soda in the second beverage

`(11)/(11+4)=(11)/(15)=0.73`

So, the second beverage is more carbonated.
