Question
Anne's dogs love peanut butter. For dinner, she always mixes a little peanut butter in with their food. For her large dog, Anne adds 4 ounces of peanut butter to 12 ounces of dog food. For her small dog, Anne adds 1 ounce of peanut butter to 5 ounces of dog food. Which dog's meal has a stronger peanut butter flavor?
Solution
To determine which dog's meal has a stronger peanut butter flavor, we need to find out which meal has a higher ratio of peanut butter to dog food.
For the large dog, the ratio is 4 ounces of peanut butter to 12 ounces of dog food, or 4/12 = 0.33.
For the small dog, the ratio is 1 ounce of peanut butter to 5 ounces of dog food, or 1/5 = 0.20.
Therefore, the large dog's meal has a stronger peanut butter flavor because it has a higher ratio of peanut butter to dog food.
