Question

Salt water gargle can temporarily relieve a sore throat. One recipe calls for 3/4 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of water. A second recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt in 2 cups of water. Which recipe will taste saltier?

Answer 1

Answer:

The first recipe - 3/4 tsp of salt in 1 cup of water

Step-by-step explanation:

1st recipe Salt per cup = 3/4 tsp / 1 cup = 3/4 tsp salt

2nd recipe Salt per cup = 1 tsp / 2 cups = 1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp > 1/2 tsp, hence the first recipe is saltier
