Q. Students are making lemonade from a powdered lemon drink mix. Aaron mixes 55 cups of water and 33 teaspoons of powdered lemon mix. Idil mixes 55 cups of water and 44 teaspoons of powdered lemon mix. Whose mix will be more watery?\newlineAaron's mix will be more watery.\newlineIdil's mix will be more watery.\newlineThe two mixes will be equally watery.
  1. Analyze Aaron's mix: Analyze Aaron's mix.\newlineAaron uses 55 cups of water and 33 teaspoons of powdered lemon mix.\newlineTo find the concentration of lemon in the mix, we calculate the ratio of powdered lemon mix to water.\newlineRatio for Aaron's mix = Number of teaspoons of powdered lemon mix / Number of cups of water = 33 teaspoons / 55 cups.
  2. Analyze Idil's mix: Analyze Idil's mix.\newlineIdil uses 55 cups of water and 44 teaspoons of powdered lemon mix.\newlineSimilarly, we calculate the ratio of powdered lemon mix to water for Idil's mix.\newlineRatio for Idil's mix = Number of teaspoons of powdered lemon mix / Number of cups of water = 44 teaspoons / 55 cups.
  3. Compare the ratios: Compare the ratios.\newlineA lower ratio of powdered lemon mix to water indicates a more watery mix.\newlineAaron's ratio: 35\frac{3}{5}\newlineIdil's ratio: 45\frac{4}{5}\newlineSince 35\frac{3}{5} is less than 45\frac{4}{5}, Aaron's mix has a lower concentration of lemon, making it more watery.
  4. Conclude the comparison: Conclude the comparison.\newlineBased on the ratios calculated, Aaron's mix is more watery than Idil's mix.
