Question

Anna and Jack make lemonade. Anna uses 2 cups of lemon juice with 9 cups
of
water. Jack uses 3 cups of lemon juice with 15 cups of water. Whose lemonade
has a stronger lemon taste?

Answer 1

Answer: Anna

Step-by-step explanation:

        First, I will create proportions.

Anna: 2 lemon : 9 water

Jack: 3 lemon : 15 water

        Next, I will simplify them.

$\frac{2}{9}$ = Already simplified

$\frac{3}{15}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

        Now I will give them common denominators and compare. Anna's has a larger lemon to water ratio, so Anna's will have a stronger lemon taste.

$\frac{2}{9}$  * $\frac{5}{5}$ = $\frac{10}{45}$

$\frac{1}{5}$ * $\frac{9}{9}$ = $\frac{9}{45}$

Answer 2

Anna because it had less water
