Maya used a recipe in which 2 tablespoons of vinegar were mixed with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Which statement about the amount of vinegar mixed with olive oil is true? 2 over 3 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 2:3.
2 over 3 tablespoons of vinegar is mixed with every 5 tablespoons of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 2:5.
2 over 5 tablespoons of vinegar is mixed with every 5 tablespoons of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 2:5.
2 over 5 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 2:3.

(First Option): 2 over 3 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil

Step-by-step explanation

For every 2 tablespoons of vinegar, it was mixed with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. This leads to a ratio of 2:3, and that rules out option 2 and 3. To get the unit rate we divide 2 tablespoons of vinegar by 3 tablespoons of olive oil. This means that there is 2/3 tablespoons of vinegar for every tablespoon of olive oil and leads it to be answer choice 1.

step-by-step explanation:

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
