Answer:

The formal thinker would take a systematic approach in the combination of the liquids, thereby eliminating several unnecessary combinations that the concrete thinker would definitely combine.

Explanation:

The formal operational stage in thinking begins when a child gets to the age of 12 and continues to adulthood. The formal operational stage provides an individual with the ability to think abstractly by manipulating ideas in their head without concretely manipulating it. A concrete would have to see something to be able to manipulate any ideas.
