Answer:
Option (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Option A.
Ratio of table spoons of sugar to ounces of iced tea = [tex]\frac{\text{Amount of sugar (in oz)}}{\text{Amount of ice tea (in oz)}}[/tex]
From the table attached,
Ratio = [tex]\frac{6}{24}[/tex]
= 1 : 4
Option B.
Ratio of sugar to ounces of iced tea = [tex]\frac{3}{18}[/tex]
= 1 : 6
Option C.
Ratio of sugar to ounces of iced tea = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
= 1 : 3
Option D.
Ratio of sugar to ounces of iced tea = [tex]\frac{7}{24}[/tex]
= 7 : 24
≈ 1 : 3.43
Since, highest ratio means biggest fraction (with least denominator).
From the given options, biggest fraction is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].
Therefore, highest ratio of amount of sugar in (tsp) to number of ounces of ice tea is in Option (C).
