Question

Maria and Franco are mixing sports drinks for a track meet. Maria uses 23 cup of powdered mix for every 2 gallons of water. Franco uses 114 cups of powdered mix for every 5 gallons of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the ratio of powdered mix to water for each drink.

For Maria:

(2/3 cup) / (2 gallon)

= 1/3 cup per gallon

For Franco:

(1 1/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= (5/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

= 1/4 cup per gallon

Since 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, Maria's sports drink is stronger.
