Question

you mix 8 tablespoons of hot sause and 3 cups of salsa in a green bowl . you mix 12 tablespoons of hot sause and 4 cups of salsa in an orange bowl what mixture is hotter how do you know

Answer 1

In the green bowl, there are 8 tablespoons of hot sauce to 3 cups of salsa, which is 8/3 or 2.67 tablespoons of hot sauce per cup of salsa.

 

In the orange bowl, there are 12 tablespoons of hot sauce to 4 cups of salsa, which is 12/4 or 3 tablespoons of hot sauce per cup of salsa.

 

So there is more hot sauce per cup of salsa in the orange bowl.  Therefore that bowl will have the hotter sauce.
