Question

Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has 8 cloves of garlic in every 500 mL of sauce. Raphael's tomato sauce has 12 cloves of garlic in every 900 mL of sauce. What will Emily think of Raphael's tomato sauce?

Answer 1

500/8= 62.5

So Emily believes every 62.5 ML needs a clove of garlic.

Now 900/12=75

Raphael's sauce has one clove of garlic for every 75 ml.

So the answer is - it's too garlicky.

Answer 2

Answer:

Emily will think that Raphael's tomato sauce is not perfect

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Emily 500ml of perfect tomato sauce should contain 8 cloves of garlic

The number of cloves of 900ml of perfect tomato sauce is given by

= $\frac{8}{500}(900)$

= 14.4

Therefore according to Emily  14.4 cloves of garlic must be in the 900 ml of tomato sauce

But Raphel's sauce has 12 cloves of garlic in his tomato sauce

Hence Emily thinks that Raphel's tomato sauce is not perfect
