Question 1 (Multiple Choice, Worth 2 points)
(Ratios MC)

Kim and her friends watched the server making smoothies. The table shows the number of mangos that were used for each of the different sizes of smoothies that the friends ordered.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline
& Mangos Used & Smoothie Size \\
\hline
Angela & 1 & [tex]$90\text{ oz}$[/tex] \\
\hline
Kim & 3 & [tex]$270\text{ oz}$[/tex] \\
\hline
Bri & 4 & [tex]$36\text{ oz}$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Which statement is correct based on the data?

A. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela.
B. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is 1:90, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is [tex]$4:27$[/tex].
C. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is higher than the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim.
D. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is 9:1, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is [tex]$4:36$[/tex].



Answer :

To determine which statements are correct, let's calculate the ratios of smoothie size to the number of mangos used for Angela, Kim, and Bri based on the given data.

1. Angela:
- Mangos used: [tex]\(1\)[/tex]
- Smoothie size: [tex]\(90 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Ratio: [tex]\(\frac{90 \, \text{oz}}{1 \, \text{mango}} = 90.0\)[/tex]

2. Kim:
- Mangos used: [tex]\(3\)[/tex]
- Smoothie size: [tex]\(270 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Ratio: [tex]\(\frac{270 \, \text{oz}}{3 \, \text{mangos}} = 90.0\)[/tex]

3. Bri:
- Mangos used: [tex]\(4\)[/tex]
- Smoothie size: [tex]\(36 \, \text{oz}\)[/tex]
- Ratio: [tex]\(\frac{36 \, \text{oz}}{4 \, \text{mangos}} = 9.0\)[/tex]

Now, let's analyze each statement based on the calculated ratios:
1. Statement 1: "The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela."
- Correct. Both ratios for Angela and Kim are [tex]\(90.0\)[/tex].

2. Statement 2: "The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is 1.9, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is [tex]\(4: 27\)[/tex]."
- Incorrect. The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is [tex]\(90.0\)[/tex], not [tex]\(1.9\)[/tex]. Additionally, the ratio for Bri is [tex]\(\frac{36 \, \text{oz}}{4 \, \text{mangos}} = 9.0\)[/tex], not [tex]\(4: 27\)[/tex].

3. Statement 3: "The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is higher than the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim."
- Incorrect. Both ratios are the same at [tex]\(90.0\)[/tex].

4. Statement 4: "The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Bri is 9.1, and the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela is [tex]\(4: 36\)[/tex]."
- Incorrect. The ratio for Bri is [tex]\(9.0\)[/tex], not [tex]\(9.1\)[/tex]. Additionally, the ratio for Angela is [tex]\(\frac{90 \, \text{oz}}{1 \, \text{mango}} = 90.0\)[/tex], not [tex]\(4: 36\)[/tex].

Hence, the correct statement is: "The ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Kim is the same as the ratio of smoothie size to mangos used for Angela."
