Please help and thank you :D
To write a ratio that compares the number of parts of lemonade to the total number of parts in each recipe, you need to add the number of parts of lemonade to the number of parts of cranapple juice, then express the number of parts of lemonade as a fraction of the total number of parts.
Samantha's Recipe:
Number of parts of lemonade = 2 1/2 parts
Number of parts of cranapple juice = 3 1/2 parts
Total number of parts = 3 1/2 + 2 1/2 = 6 parts
Ratio of lemonade to the total number of parts:
2 1/2 parts / 6 parts
Caden's Recipe:
Number of parts of lemonade = 3 3/4 parts
Number of parts of cranapple juice = 4 1/4 parts
Total number of parts = 3 3/4 + 4 1/4 = 8 parts
Ratio of lemonade to the total number of parts:
3 3/4 parts / 8 parts
Samantha 2.5/(2.5+3.5) = ?
Caden 3.75/(3.75+4.25) = ?
