The ratio of vinegar to water is 1 to 16. How many fluid ounces of vinegar should be mixed with 80 fluid ounces of water? Please explain... Thanks :)
We have an equation: 1/? = 16/80
Cross multiply:
16? = 801
⇒ ? = 80*1/16= 5
5 fluid ounces of vinegar should be mixed with 80 fluid ounces of water~
80/16 equals to 5
5 fluid ounces of vinegar should be mixed with 80 fluid ounces of vinegar.
