Question

For each recipe, write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts.

Answer 1

Answer: Samantha's Recipe:

Ratio of lemonade = 2 1/2 : 6

Caden's Recipe:

Ratio of lemonade = 15 : 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's Recipe

3 1/2 parts cranapple juice

2 1/2 parts lemonade

Caden's Recipe

4 1/4 parts cranapple juice

3 3/4 parts lemonade

For each recipe, write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts.

Solution:

For Samantha's Recipe:

Total number of parts = cranapple juice parts + lemonade parts = 3.5 + 2.5 = 6.0

Ratio of lemonade to total number of parts = (2.5)/(6.0) = 2 1/2 : 6

For Caden's Recipe:

Total number of parts = cranapple juice parts + lemonade parts =(17/4)+(15/4) = (32/4) = 8

Therefore, Ratio of lemonade to total number of parts = (15/4) / (8) =(15)/(32) = 15:32
