You add 11/4 tablespoons of olive oil for every 3/2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to make 34 tablespoons of bread dip. How much olive oil and balsamic vinegar do you use? You use ___ tablespoons of olive oil and

___ tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

The amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to use are;

You use 22 tablespoons of olive oil and 12 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The number of tablespoons of olive oil added for every 3/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar = 11/4 tablespoons

Therefore, in the mixture, the ratio of olive oil to balsamic vinegar = 11/4:3/2

Let 'x', and 'y' represent the the number of tablespoons of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, in the mixture 34 tablespoons of bread dip, we can write;

x + y = 34 tablespoons

x/y = (11/4)/(3/2) = 11/6

∴ x = 11/6 × y

∴ x + y = 11/6 × y + y = 34

11/6 × y + y = 17·y/6 = 34

17·y = 34 × 6 = 204

y = 204/17 = 12

The number of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar in the bead dip, y = 12 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

x = 11/6 × y = 11/6 × 12 = 22

The number of tablespoons of olive oil in the bead dip, x = 22 tablespoons of olive oil.
