Flaming BBQ Restaurant makes a dipping sauce with 9mLof hot sauce for every 6 ounces of barbecue sauce. Which of the following mixtures will taste the same as Flaming BBQ's dipping sauce?

Answer 1

To taste the same as Flaming BBQ's dipping sauce, the mixture should have a ratio of 9 mL of hot sauce to 6 ounces of barbecue sauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which mixture will taste the same as Flaming BBQ's dipping sauce, we need to find the ratio of hot sauce to barbecue sauce in their sauce. Flaming BBQ uses 9 mL of hot sauce for every 6 ounces of barbecue sauce. To find an equivalent ratio, we can set up a proportion:

9 mL / 6 ounces = x mL / y ounces

Cross-multiplying, we get 9y = 6x.

Therefore, any mixture that has a ratio of 9 mL of hot sauce to 6 ounces of barbecue sauce will taste the same as Flaming BBQ's dipping sauce.

Answer 2

The amount of 9mLof hot sauce is 6 ounces so if x is ounces and y is 9mLof hot sauce x(9) = y.
