Question

Which mixture would taste different? Mixture 1: 1 cup water, 1.5 teaspoons drink mix Mixture 2: 2 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon drink mix Mixture 3: 1 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon drink mix Mixture 1 Mixture 2 Mixture 3

Answer 1

Drink 1 will taste different.

Explanation:

Given the mixtures:

Mixture 1: 1 cup water and 1.5 teaspoons drink mix

Mixture 2: 2 cups water and
`(1)/(2)` teaspoons drink mix

Mixture 3: 1 cup water and
`(1)/(4)` teaspoons drink mix

To find:

Which of the mixtures will taste different?

Solution:

To answer this, we need to find the ratio of all the mixtures.

First of all, Let us make ratio of water as 1 quantity.

Ratio of 1st mixture = 1 :
`(3)/(2)`

Ratio of Mixture 2 contains 2 cups of water.

Let us divide the ratio of mixture 2 with 2, we get:

`(2)/(2):((1)/(2))/(2)\\\Rightarrow 1:(1)/(4)`

Ratio of 3rd mixture =
`1:(1)/(4)`

Ratio of drink mix of 1st mixture with 1 cup water is different.

So, drink 1 will taste different.
