To determine which ratio would make the lemonade stronger, we need to compare the ratio of lemons to water in Joel's recipe (7 to 4) to the given options.
In Joel's recipe (7 to 4), there are 7 parts of lemons to 4 parts of water. This means that for every 7 lemons, there are 4 cups of water.
Let's compare each option to Joel's ratio:
A) 5 to 3: This means for every 5 lemons, there are 3 cups of water. This ratio contains fewer lemons and more water compared to Joel's ratio, so it would make the lemonade weaker, not stronger.
B) 7 to 5: This means for every 7 lemons, there are 5 cups of water. This ratio has the same number of lemons as Joel's ratio, but more water. It would make the lemonade weaker, not stronger.
C) 8 to 4: This means for every 8 lemons, there are 4 cups of water. This ratio has more lemons and the same amount of water compared to Joel's ratio. It would make the lemonade stronger.
D) 8 to 5: This means for every 8 lemons, there are 5 cups of water. This ratio has more lemons and more water compared to Joel's ratio. It would make the lemonade stronger.
Therefore, the ratio that would make the lemonade stronger is option D) 8 to 5.
7:4 means the lemonade is 7/11 of the total.
7/11 = .6363
8:4 means 8/12 = .6666
I hope that was the reason you picked C.
