Question

a. the large tray
b. the small tray
c. neither

Answer 1

To determine which tray of gelatin will taste more like lemon, we need to analyze the proportions of lemon gelatin in each tray.

1. Large Tray: Contains a full amount of both strawberry and lemon gelatin.
2. Small Tray: Contains half the amount of strawberry gelatin and half the amount of lemon gelatin.

In the large tray, there is a full amount of lemon gelatin which maintains the original balance of flavors. In the small tray, while there is also lemon gelatin, it is reduced (half the original amount).

Since both trays contain lemon gelatin, the large tray will still have a higher overall proportion of lemon flavor relative to the total amount of gelatin present compared to the small tray.

Thus, the answer is: a. the large tray will taste more like lemon.
