Q. Kermit's favorite iced tea uses 1515 tea bags in every 22 liters of water. Peggy made a 1212-liter batch of iced tea with 9090 tea bags. Peggy and Kermit keep the bags in the water the same amount of time.\newlineWhat will Kermit think of Peggy's iced tea?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Peggy's iced tea is too strong.\newline(B) Peggy's iced tea is too weak.\newline(C) Peggy's iced tea is just right.
  1. Determine Kermit's preferred ratio: Determine the ratio of tea bags to water that Kermit prefers.\newlineKermit's favorite ratio is 1515 tea bags for every 22 liters of water.
  2. Calculate tea bags for a 1212-liter batch: Calculate the number of tea bags Kermit would use for a 1212-liter batch.\newlineSince Kermit uses 1515 tea bags for 22 liters, for 1212 liters (which is 66 times more), he would use 1515 tea bags ×6=90\times 6 = 90 tea bags.
  3. Compare tea bags used by Peggy and Kermit: Compare the number of tea bags Peggy used to what Kermit would use.\newlinePeggy used 9090 tea bags for her 1212-liter batch, which is the same number that Kermit would use.
  4. Determine Kermit's opinion on Peggy's iced tea: Determine Kermit's opinion on the strength of Peggy's iced tea.\newlineSince Peggy used the same ratio of tea bags to water as Kermit prefers, Kermit would think that Peggy's iced tea is just right.
