Ok, let's compare ratios:

 

Mixture A - 3:5

Mixture B - 4:7

 

3/5 = 0.6

4/7 = 0.571

 

Mixture A is stronger.

 

 

Another way to think about it is, you're adding 3 parts concentrate to 5 parts water so think of it as 2 extra parts of water for mixture A.

 

For mixture B, you are adding 7 - 4 = 3 extra parts of water.
