For each recipe, write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts.

Which recipe will have the stronger lemon taste? Explain how you determined your answer.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's recipe has:

3 parts cranapple juice

2 parts lemonade

In total, this recipe has:

t = 3 + 2

t = 5

ratio =

Caden's recipe has

4 parts cranapple juice

3 parts lemonade

In total:

t = 4 + 3

t = 7

ratio =

The punch with stronger lemon taste will be the one whose recipe have a bigger proportion of lemon.

For Samantha's recipe, the proportion is 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4

For Caden's, 3 ÷ 7 = 0.43

Caden's punch will have a slightly stronger taste of lemon, because its proportion is slightly higher than Samantha's.
