2. 3 over 7 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every 7 tablespoons of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:7

3. 3 over 4 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4

4. 3 over 7 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4

Answer 1

Answer: 3. 3 over 4 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4

.

Explanation:

Given: Number of tablespoons Kaya used of vinegar=3

Number of tablespoons Kaya used of olive oil=4

thus the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4.

Thus
`(vinegar)/(olive\ oil)=(3)/(4)`

Now if 1 tablespoon of olive oil is used then the amount of vinegar should be used=
`(vinegar)/(1)=(3)/(4)` tablespoons

Hence, 3 over 4 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4
