Question

A restaurant makes vegetable soup using 22 cups of mixed vegetables and 15 cups of stock. Henri tries to make this at home with 5 cups of mixed vegetables and 10 cups of stock. Is Henri using the correct ratio? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, restaurant gives the ratio of mixed vegetable and stock is 22:15

But he used 5:10 or 1:2 ratio.

Answer 2

Answer:

He is not using the correct ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because he lowered the amount of vegetables and stock, he must want to make a smaller amount of soup. If he wants to make the soup 3 x smaller than the restaurant gave him, he did not use the correct amount of stock. But he did use the correct amount of vegetables. 15 / 3 = 5       22 / 3 = 7R1   He will need only need about 7 cups of stock to make the soup he wants to make.
