Q. Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has

15

cloves of garlic in every

6 \mathrm{~L}

of sauce. Raphael's tomato sauce has

25

cloves of garlic in every

9 \mathrm{~L}

of sauce.

\newline

What will Emily think of the amount of garlic in Raphael's tomato sauce?

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A) Raphael's tomato sauce has too much garlic.

\newline

(B) Raphael's tomato sauce has too little garlic.

\newline

(C) Raphael's tomato sauce is perfect.

Find Ratio for Emily's Sauce: First, we need to find out the ratio of cloves of garlic to liters of sauce for Emily's perfect tomato sauce. $\newline$ Emily's ratio is $15$ cloves of garlic per $6$ liters of sauce. $\newline$ To simplify this ratio, we divide the number of cloves by the number of liters to get the number of cloves per liter. $\newline$ $\frac{15 \text{ cloves}}{6 \text{ liters}} = 2.5$ cloves per liter.
Find Ratio for Raphael's Sauce: Next, we need to find out the ratio of cloves of garlic to liters of sauce for Raphael's tomato sauce. $\newline$ Raphael's ratio is $25$ cloves of garlic per $9$ liters of sauce. $\newline$ Similarly, we divide the number of cloves by the number of liters to get the number of cloves per liter. $\newline$ $\frac{25 \text{ cloves}}{9 \text{ liters}} \approx 2.78$ cloves per liter.
Compare Ratios: Now, we compare the two ratios to determine what Emily would think of Raphael's tomato sauce. $\newline$ Emily's perfect ratio is $2.5$ cloves per liter, while Raphael's ratio is approximately $2.78$ cloves per liter. $\newline$ Since $2.78$ is greater than $2.5$ , Raphael's tomato sauce has more garlic per liter than what Emily considers perfect.
Conclusion: Based on the comparison, we can conclude that Emily would think Raphael's tomato sauce has too much garlic.
