Anna and Beulah are making sweet tea for a cookout. Anna made 15 cups of tea and added 2 ½ cups of sugar. Beulah made 9 cups of tea and added 1 ½ cups of sugar. At the cookout they tasted each other’s tea and found that they tasted the same. “That’s weird,” said Anna. “I put more sugar in mine- shouldn’t it be sweeter?”
A.Explain why Anna and Beulah’s teas taste the same.
B. Which of the following expressions, where s is cups of sugar and t is cups of tea, could represent the recipes Anna and Beulah used? Choose all that apply.
A. s=1/6t
B. s= 6t
C. t=1/6s
D. t= 2 1/2s
E. t=6s
A. 15/2.5=6. 9/1.5=6. Because even though they made different amounts of cups, they put in different amounts of sugar too that are actually the same rate for each cup. They both put in 1 cup of sugar for every 6 cups of tea.
B.Both A and E are correct
