Question

Concentrate and water are mixed to make juice. Which is the stronger mixture: A or B? Explain. Mixture a: three parts concentrate to 5 Parts water mixture b: four parts concentrate to 7 Parts Water.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mixture A is a stronger mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mixture A:

3 parts concentrate to 5 Parts water

Mixture B:

4 parts concentrate to 7 Parts Water.

We have to find the stronger mixture.

We calculate the ration of concentrate to the water and the mixture with a greater ration is more stronger.

Ratios:

$M_A = \dfrac{3}{5}\\\\M_B = \dfrac{4}{7}$

Comparison:

$\dfrac{21}{35} > \dfrac{20}{35}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}>\dfrac{4}{7}\\\\M_A > M_B$

Thus, Mixture A is a stronger mixture.
