    Maria

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Find the ratio of powdered mix to water for each drink.

    For Maria:

    (2/3 cup) / (2 gallon)

    = 1/3 cup per gallon

    For Franco:

    (1 1/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

    = (5/4 cup) / (5 gallon)

    = 1/4 cup per gallon

    Since 1/3 is bigger than 1/4, Maria's sports drink is stronger.
