    Answer:

    See Explanation

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Luanne

    Salt = 3\ cups

    Gallon = 1

    Fiona

    Salt = 2\ cups

    Gallon = 3

    The question is incomplete, as the options are not given.

    However, possible comparison that can be made are

    (a) The unit amount of salt

    (b) Whose solution is more concentrated with salt

    (a) The unit amount of salt

    To do this, we divide the amount of salt by the number of gallons.

    Unit = \frac{Salt}{Gallon}

    For Luanne

    Unit = \frac{3}{1}

    Unit = 3 cups/gallon

    For Fiona

    Unit = \frac{2}{3}

    Unit = 0.67cups/gallon

    (b) Whose solution is more concentrated with salt

    By comparing the result in (a)

    We have:

    Unit = 3 cups/gallon — Luanne

    Unit = 0.67cups/gallon — Fiona

    Luanne unit amount implies that there are 3 cups in every gallon of water;

    Fiona unit amount implies that there are 0.67 cups in every gallon of water;

    3 >0.67

    Hence, Luanne solution is more concentrated with salt
