Answer 1

Answer:

They have the same mustard flavor.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will compare the amount of mustard with the total amount of sauce for each.

Burger Barn uses 1/2 spoonful of mustard for 2 spoonfuls of honey.  This gives them a total of 2 1/2 spoonfuls of sauce.  This makes their ratio

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}$

This can also be written as

1/2 ÷ 5/2

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal:

1/2 × 2/5

Multiply straight across:

(1×2)/(2×5) = 2/10 = 1/5

Sandwich town uses 1 spoonful of mustard to 4 spoonfuls of honey. This gives them a total of 5 spoonfuls of sauce.  This makes their ratio

1/5

They are the same.

Answer 2

The two dipping sauces taste the same.
