Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Luanne
[tex]Salt = 3\ cups[/tex]
[tex]Gallon = 1[/tex]
Fiona
[tex]Salt = 2\ cups[/tex]
[tex]Gallon = 3[/tex]
The question is incomplete, as the options are not given.
However, possible comparison that can be made are
(a) The unit amount of salt
(b) Whose solution is more concentrated with salt
(a) The unit amount of salt
To do this, we divide the amount of salt by the number of gallons.
[tex]Unit = \frac{Salt}{Gallon}[/tex]
For Luanne
[tex]Unit = \frac{3}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Unit = 3 cups/gallon[/tex]
For Fiona
[tex]Unit = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Unit = 0.67cups/gallon[/tex]
(b) Whose solution is more concentrated with salt
By comparing the result in (a)
We have:
[tex]Unit = 3 cups/gallon[/tex] --- Luanne
[tex]Unit = 0.67cups/gallon[/tex] --- Fiona
Luanne unit amount implies that there are 3 cups in every gallon of water;
Fiona unit amount implies that there are 0.67 cups in every gallon of water;
[tex]3 >0.67[/tex]
Hence, Luanne solution is more concentrated with salt
