Clare mixes 2 and one half of water with one third cups of orange juice concentrate.

Question

Han mixes 1 and one half cups of water with one fourth cup of orange juice concentrate.

whose orange juice mixture tastes stronger?

Answer 1

To compare the strength of the orange juice mixture, we can compare the ratios of water to orange juice concentrate in each mixture.

For Clare:
- She mixes 2 cups of water with 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate.
- The ratio of water to concentrate is 2/0.5 = 4:1.

For Han:
- He mixes 1.5 cups of water with 1/4 cup of orange juice concentrate.
- The ratio of water to concentrate is 1.5/0.25 = 6:1.

Comparing the ratios, Han's orange juice mixture has a stronger taste because it has more concentrate relative to the amount of water.
