Which of the following 2 mixtures will have a stronger lime flavor? 2 parts lime juice concentrate mixed with 5 parts water, or 4 parts lime juice concentrate mixed with 7 parts water?
Sol'n:
from the two mixtures:
mixture 1:2 parts lime juice concentrate mixed with 5 parts water
% lime = [2/(5+2)]x 100 = 27.571% lime
mixture 2:4 parts lime juice concentrate mixed with 7 parts water
% lime = [4/(4+7)]x 100 = 36.363% lime
thus, mixture 2 has the strong flavor of lime
