C) 46 teaspoons
D) 45 teaspoons

Answer :

Final answer:

To solve the problem, divide the total ounces of milk by the ratio of milk to syrup (2.67 oz milk/1 tsp syrup). The result is approximately 6.74 teaspoons of syrup needed for 18 oz of milk. None of the given options is correct.

Explanation:

To find out how many teaspoons of strawberry syrup are needed for 18 oz of milk, we can first use the provided ratio of milk to syrup which is 2.67 oz of milk per teaspoon of syrup. To calculate the number of teaspoons needed for 18 oz, we divide the total amount of milk by the ratio.

Teaspoons of syrup = Total ounces of milk / Ounces of milk per teaspoon of syrup

Teaspoons of syrup = 18 oz / 2.67 oz/teaspoon

Teaspoons of syrup = 6.74 teaspoons (approximately)

We now look for the closest whole number that matches one of the provided options. The closest whole number to 6.74 is 7, but since this is not one of the options, it seems there might be an error in the question. If the ratios given were meant to be different, or if a different part of the question needs to be considered, please provide the correct details to get an accurate answer.

None of the given options is correct.
