Answer:
1:16 for every 16oz there is a 1 person serving.
Step-by-step explanation:
"128 ounce jug of iced tea. The nutritional label states that the jug serves 16 people."
16:128 is your given ratio, this is already a correct answer, but we will simplify by finding the GCF (greatest common factor) and dividing by that.
Factorization of 16 Factorization of 128
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}16& & \\2&8& \\2 &4 & \\2 & 2\\2& 1 \end{array}\right][/tex] [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}128 \\2 &64\\2 &32\\2&16\\2&8\\2&4\\2&2\\2&1 \end{array}\right][/tex]
The common factors we have are: 2x2x2x2 which is = 16 = GCF
so lets simplify our ratio by dividing by the GCF
[tex]\frac{16}{16}:\frac{128}{16} = 1:16[/tex]
