Question

Tom the tea maker uses the given recipe to make one batch of his delicious tea. Which of the given pie charts represent the amount of ingredients in 1 cup of tea?

• A. Pie Chart A
• B. Pie Chart B
• C. Pie Chart C
• D. Pie Chart D

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pie Chart B

$\text{Ingredients for 1 batch of tea:}$


$\text{Adding the amount of all ingredients,}\text{we get:}$

$8+4+3+1=16$

$\therefore \text{1 batch of tea includes 16 cups of tea.}$

$\text{So, to get the amount of each ingredient in}\text{one cup of tea, we have to divide the amount}\text{of each ingredient in a batch by 16.}$

$\text{Ingredients for 1 cup of tea:}$

Water	$8÷16=\frac{8}{16}\text{cup}$
Milk	$4÷16=\frac{4}{16}\text{cup}$
Sugar	$3÷16=\frac{3}{16}\text{cup}$
Tea leaves	$1÷16=\frac{1}{16}\text{cup}$

$\text{Examining the given pie charts, we find the}\text{amount of each ingredient as:}$

$PieChartA:$


$PieChartB:$


$PieChartC:$


$PieChartD:$


$\text{The data from pie chart B matches the recipe}\text{for 1 cup of tea.}$

$\therefore \text{Pie chart B correctly represents the amount}$$\text{of ingredients in 1 cup of tea.}$
