Question

Bonnie is making a dipping sauce. She mixes 150 milliliters of soy sauce with 100 milliliters of vinegar. How much soy sauce does Bonnie mix with every 11 milliliter of vinegar?

Answer 1

We can write a verbal equation to relate the amount of soy sauce to the amount of vinegar.

Amount of soy sauce = amount of vinegar⋅ soy sauce - to-vinegar ratio.

Let's substitute the information from Bonnie's dipping sauce into our equation. 150 milliliters of soy sauce is mixed with 100 milliliters of vinegar.

150 = 100 ⋅ soy sauce - to-vinegar ratio.

Now we can divide both sides of the equation by 100 to solve for the soy sauce - to-vinegar ratio.

150/100 = 100 soy sauce-to-vinegar ratio/ 100 = 100/100

​1.5 = soy sauce-to-vinegar ratio

The soy sauce - to-vinegar ratio is 1.5 point 5. Bonnie mixes 1.5 point, 5 milliliters of soy sauce with every 1 milliliter of vinegar.

For the second question, we know the amount of soy sauce is 1 end color milliliter, but we do not know the amount of vinegar. We'll substitute into our original equation again.

Amount of soy sauce = amount of vinegar ⋅ soy sauce-to - vinegar ratio.

1 =amount of vinegar ⋅ 1.5

Let's divide both sides of the equation by point 5 and solve for the amount of vinegar.

1/1.5 = 1.5 amount of vinegar⋅ / 1.5 = 1.5/1.5

2/3 = amount of vinegar

Bonnie mixes 2/3 milliliter of vinegar with every 1 milliliter of soy sauce.

Bonnie mixes 1.5 point 5 milliliters of soy sauce with every 1 milliliter of vinegar.

Bonnie mixes 2/3 milliliter of vinegar with every 1 milliliter of soy sauce.

If you did not get all that then you can just put this.

So 1.5 into How much soy sauce does Bonnie mix with every 1 milliliter of vinegar.

And 2/3 into How much vinegar does Bonnie mix with every 1 milliliter of soy sauce.

Answer 2

First step

You must stablish a relation

150 ml sauce/100 ml vinegar

If 100 ml vinegar_______150ml sauce then 11 ml vinegar ____x ml sauce

Second step

You must resolve x from the equation

X= (11ml vinegar*150 ml soya)/(100 ml vinegar)= 16.5 ml sauce, it means that it will be 16,5 ml sauce by every 11 ml of vinegar
