Chris and Jenny are comparing two similar punch recipes. Each recipe calls for cranberry juice and ginger ale but in different amounts. The tables to the left show the amounts of cranberry juice and ginger ale for four different quantities of punch. Is the ratio of the punch that is cranberry juice the same in Chris’s recipes as it is in Jenny’s recipes? If not, whose punch has a greater concentration of cranberry juice?

• No, there is no way to determine this.

• Chris had a higher concentration of cranberry juice. You have to extend the table for Chris. When Chris and Jenny both used 10 cups of cranberry juice. Chris had 40 cups of ginger ale and Jenny had 15 so Chris had a higher concentration of cranberry juice which means you can taste the cranberries more in his juice.

• Jenny had a higher concentration of cranberry juice. You have to extend the table for Chris. When Chris and Jenny both used 10 cups of cranberry juice. Chris had 40 cups of ginger ale and Jenny had 15 so Jenny had a higher concentration of cranberry juice because she used less ginger ale.

• Chris had a higher concentration of cranberry juice. You have to extend the table for Chris. When Chris and Jenny both used 10 cups of cranberry juice.

• Yes, because the ratio 10:15 is an equivalent ratio.

• Yes, because this is the amount needed to make 5 batches.

• No, because the ratio 10:15 is equal to 1:1.5 instead of 2:5

• No, because the milk could make 5 batches and the strawberries could make 4 batches.
