Latanya's only
(Choice C) Both Jada's and Latanya's
C
Both Jada's and Latanya's
The interpretation that makes sense in this context is Latanya's only. Latanya's interpretation correctly represents the average number of pitchers the restaurant serves per day if it takes 1/8 days to serve all of the horchata. Jada's interpretation does not make sense in this context.
In this context, Jada's interpretation makes sense. Jada's interpretation suggests that the given expression represents the number of total servings if there are 1 1/8 servings per pitcher. This interpretation aligns with the given information about pitchers and servings. Latanya's interpretation, on the other hand, suggests that the given expression represents the average number of pitchers the restaurant serves per day if it takes 1 1/8 days to serve all of the horchata. This interpretation does not fit with the context provided about the number of pitchers and servings. Therefore, the correct answer is:
(Choice A) Jada's only
To determine whose interpretation makes sense in this context, we need to understand what each person is saying.
Jada's interpretation suggests that the number of total servings could be calculated by dividing the number of pitchers (5 3/8) by the servings per pitcher (1 1/8). This implies that the number of servings depends on the number of pitchers and the servings per pitcher.
Latanya's interpretation suggests that the average number of pitchers served per day could be calculated by dividing the number of pitchers (5 3/8) by the number of days it takes to serve all of the horchata (1 1/8). This implies that the average number of pitchers served per day depends on the number of pitchers and the time it takes to serve them.
In this context, Jada's interpretation makes more sense because it directly relates to the idea of determining the number of servings based on the number of pitchers and servings per pitcher. Latanya's interpretation is less applicable to the context since it focuses on the average number of pitchers served per day, which does not directly address the calculation of the number of servings.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(Choice A) Jada's only
