Answer:
August made the recipe using the <em>incorrect</em> ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- Sally's recipe is a combination of lemonade and fruit
- Sally uses 6 cups of lemonade for every 8 cups of fruit
∵ Sally uses 6 cups of lemonade for every 8 cups of fruit
∴ The ratio of sally recipe is 6 : 8
- Simplify the terms of the ratio by divide them by 2
∴ The ratio of sally recipe is 3 : 4
- August made a recipe with 35 cups of liquid total
- He made 15 cups of them lemonade
∵ The total number of cups August made is 35
∵ 15 of them are lemonade
∴ The number of fruit cups = 35 - 15 = 20 cups
∵ August mad 15 cups of lemonade for every 20 cups of fruit
∴ The ratio of August recipe is 20 : 15
- Simplify the terms of the ratio by divide them by 5
∴ The ratio of August recipe is 4 : 3
∵ The ratio of Sally recipe is 3 : 4
∵ The ratio of August recipe is 4 : 3
∵ The ratio 3 : 4 ≠ the ratio 4 : 3
∴ August made the recipe using the <em>incorrect</em> ratio
