Question

burger barn makes a dipping sauce by mixing 4 spoonfuls of honey with 1 spoonful of mustard. sandwich town makes a dipping sauce by mixing 8 spoonfuls of honey with 2 spoonfuls of mustard. which dipping sauce has a stronger mustard flavor? choose 1 answer: a burger barns dipping sauce b sandwich towns dipping sauce c the two dipping sauces taste the same.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Burger Barn's mustard ratio

To find the ratio of mustard to total sauce, we first find the total number of spoonfuls. For Burger Barn, it's \(4 + 1 = 5\) spoonfuls. The ratio of mustard to total sauce is \(\frac{1}{5}\).

Step2: Calculate Sandwich Town's mustard ratio

For Sandwich Town, the total number of spoonfuls is \(8 + 2 = 10\) spoonfuls. The ratio of mustard to total sauce is \(\frac{2}{10}\), which simplifies to \(\frac{1}{5}\) (by dividing numerator and denominator by 2).

Step3: Compare the two ratios

Since both ratios \(\frac{1}{5}\) (Burger Barn) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) (Sandwich Town) are equal, the mustard flavor strength is the same.

Answer:

C. The two dipping sauces taste the same.
