Kermit's favorite iced tea is made with 15 tea bags in every 2 liters of water. Peggy made a 12-liter batch of iced tea with 90 tea bags. What will Kermit think of Peggy's iced tea? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) It is too strong. (Choice B) It is too weak. (Choice C) It is just right.

Now, to find which of the choice is correct.

So, we find first the unit rate of Peggy's iced tea bags per liter:

If, Peggy made a 12-liter batch of iced tea with 90 tea bags.

Then, Peggy would made a 1-liter batch of iced tea with = $\frac{90}{12} =7.5\ tea\ bags.$

Now, to get the unit rate of Kermit's iced tea bags per liter:

If, Kermit made a 2 liter of iced tea with 15 tea bags.

Then, Kermit would made a 2 liter of iced tea with = $\frac{15}{2} =7.5\ tea\ bags.$

Thus, the quantity of tea bags per liter is same of both Kermit and Peggy.

Hence, Kermit will think of Peggy's iced tea that it is just right.

Therefore, the answer is (Choice C) It is just right.
