Question

Ericas recipe for lemonade calls for 1 cup of lemon juice for every 3 cups of water. Molly’s recipe calls for 3 cups of lemon juice for every 8 cups of water. Which recipe would have a stronger lemon flavor? Explanation pleasee

Answer 1

Molly's

Explanation:

The recipe with a stronger lemon flavor will have a greater ratio of lemon juice to water.

To find the ratio, divide the number of cups of lemon juice by the cups of water for each recipe:

Erica's recipe:

1/3

= 0.33

Molly's:

3/8

= 0.375

Since 0.375 is bigger than 0.33, this means Molly's recipe has a greater ratio of lemon juice to water.

So, Molly's recipe will have a stronger lemon flavor.
