Question

Emilia and Darnell are arguing over who makes the best fruit punch. Emilia likes to use 2 cups of grape juice for every 5 cups of pineapple juice. Darnell prefers to use 1 cup of grape juice for every 4 cups of pineapple juice. Do Emilia and Darnell use the same ratio of grape juice to pineapple juice?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Emilia = 2 cups of grape juice for every 5 cups of pineapple juice

We can simplify this to 1 cup of grape juice for every 2 1/2 cups of pineapple juice

Darnell = 1 cup of grape juice for every 4 cups of pineapple juice

You can see the difference
