Question

Phillip made a milkshake with 2 cups of ice cream and 3/4 cups of milk. Matthew made his milkshake with 1 cup of ice cream and 1/3 cups of milk. Whose milkshake was thicker?

Answer 1

Answer: Matthew’s milkshake

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio of ice cream to milk in Philips milkshake is 1:3/8. The ratio of ice cream to milk in Matthew’s milkshake is 1:1/3. 3/8>1/3. Since you want a thicker milkshake, you want less milk in the ratio, Matthew’s milkshake would be thicker.
