Question

Bob’s soup uses 18 drops of chili oil for every 4 cups of chicken broth. Yvonne wants her soup to have a weaker chili flavor than Bob’s soup. Which mixture should Yvonne use? A 18 drops of chili oil for every 2 cups of chicken broth

B 18 drops of chili oil for every 5 cups of chicken broth

C 20 drops of chili oil for every 4 cups of chicken broth

D 22 drops of chili oil for every 4 cups of chicken broth

Answer 1

Answer:

Yvonne should pick mixture B which has a lesser concentration of chili oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob's soup concentration = 18 drops / 4 cups = 9 drops / 2 cups = 4.5 drops/cup

A. 18 / 2 = 9 drops/cup which is a greater concentration

B. 18 / 5 = 3.6 drops/cup which is a lesser concentration

C. 20/ 4 = 5 drops/cup which is a greater concentration

D. 22/ 4 = 5.5 drops/cup which is a greater concentration
