To find the correct ratio based on the information given: Daniel mixed 6 tablespoons of chocolate syrup with 2 pints of milk.
To express the ratio of chocolate syrup to milk, we look at the amounts:
- Chocolate syrup: 6 tablespoons
- Milk: 2 pints
Now we can express the ratio of tablespoons of chocolate syrup to pints of milk:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{tablespoons of chocolate syrup}}{\text{pints of milk}} = \frac{6}{2} = 3:1 \]
This means that for every 1 pint of milk, there are 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, or alternatively, that there are 3 tablespoons for every 2 pints of milk.
Now we can analyze the answer choices:
A. For each pint of milk, there are 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. (This is correct. This represents the ratio of 3:1.) B. There are 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup for every 2 pints of milk. (This is incorrect. It represents the inverse of the ratio; the actual ratio is 3:1, not 3:2.) C. For each tablespoon of chocolate syrup, there are 3 pints of milk. (This is incorrect. That would mean 6 tablespoons = 18 pints, which is not true.) D. The ratio of the tablespoons of chocolate syrup to pints of milk is 1:3. (This is incorrect. The correct ratio is 3:1.)
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. For each pint of milk, there are 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.
