Emma and Clair are planning to sell lemonade on their street. They have two recipes to choose from. Emma’s recipe calls for the
juice of 5 lemons and 2 cups of water. Clair’s recipe calls for the juice of 2 lemons and 1 cup of water. Why will the first recipe taste more “lemony”?
The ratio of lemon juice to water in Emma’s recipe is 5 to 2; the ratio in Clair’s recipe is 4 to 2. Emma’s recipe will taste more lemony because it has a greater ratio of lemon juice to water.
