1 answer

To compare the concentration of pineapple in each mixture, we need to calculate the proportion of pineapple in each fruit salad.

Ahmed's mixture contains a total of 4 + 6 = <<4+6=10>>10 cups of fruit.
Therefore, the proportion of pineapple in Ahmed's mixture is 4/10 = <<4/10=0.4>>0.4.

Kaya's mixture contains a total of 3 + 3 = <<3+3=6>>6 cups of fruit.
Therefore, the proportion of pineapple in Kaya's mixture is 3/6 = <<3/6=0.5>>0.5.

Comparing these proportions, we can see that Kaya's mixture has a higher concentration of pineapple. Thus, the answer is 1 for Kaya.
