Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the strongest mix :

Maria:

2 cups of concentrate ; 5 cups of water

Ratio = 2/5 = 0.4 concentrate per 1 cup of water

Laurie:

3 cups of concentrate ; 7 cups of water

Ratio = 3/7 = 0.4285714 concentrate per 1 cup of water

0.4285714 > 0.4

Hence, Laurie's mix is the strongest as it has higher concentrate per cup of water.
