Question

Henry makes orange squash with 5 parts squash to 11 parts water. Paul makes orange squash with 3 parts squash to 8 parts water. Whose squash will taste sweeter?

Henry or Paul?

Answer 1

Given - Henry's orange squash has 5 parts squash to 11 parts water.

Paul's orange squash has 3 parts squash to 8 parts water.

Find - Whose squash tastes sweeter.

Solution - Concentration of orange is Henry's squash = (5/11)*100

Concentration of orange is Henry's squash = 45%

Concentration of orange in Paul's squash = (3/8)*100

Concentration of orange in Paul's squash = 37.5%

Since Henry's squash has more squash content with respect to water, in comparison to Paul's, it will taste sweeter. Hence, Henry is the correct answer.
