Question

Ari thinks the perfect milkshake has

3
33 ounces of caramel for every
5
55 scoops of ice cream. Freeze Zone makes batches of milkshakes with
6
66 ounces of caramel and
8
88 scoops of ice cream.
What will Ari think about Freeze Zone's milkshakes?

Answer 1

too much caramel

Explanation:

3 ounces : 5 scoops = 3·2 ounces : 5·2 scoops = 6 ounces : 10 scoops

If the Freeze Zone shakes have 6 ounces : 8 scoops, then Ari will think they need more ice cream (2 scoops per shake) or less caramel.

As is, the ratio of caramel to ice cream is too high.
