Question

Evan and Carter are making chocolate milk which mixes milk with chocolate syrup. Evan's recipe calls for 5 cups of milk for every 4 teaspoons of chocolate syrup. Carter's recipe needs 3 cups of milk for every 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup. Whose recipe has the stronger tasting chocolate milk?

Answer 1

Answer:

Evan's recipe

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Evan's recipe :

5 cups of milk for every 4 teaspoons of chocolate syrup

Carter's recipe:

3 cups of milk for every 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup.

Recipe with the stronger tasting chocolate milk:

Take the ratio of cups of milk to teaspoons of chocolate syrup:

Evan's :

5 / 4 = 1.25

Carter's :

3 /2 = 1.5

Evan's recipe has the stronger tasting chocolate milk recipe :

5 milk cup = 4 chocolate spoons

Number of chocolate milks for 3 milk cups = x in Evan's recipe

5 = 4

3 = x

5x = 12

x = 12/5

x = 2.4 teaspoons

This is 2.4 spoons compared Carter's recipe which uses 2 spoons for every 3 milk cups
