Answer 1

We need 166.5 ml of soy sauce when we have 111 ml of vinegar.

We need 74 ml of vinegar when we have 111 ml of soy sauce.

Explanation:

I think that you meant 150 and not 150150150 and 100 and not 100100100

`(soy sauce)/(vinegar)` =
`(soy sauce)/(vinegar)`

`(150)/(100)` is the same as
`(3)/(2)` (simplified by dividing the top and the bottom by 50)

`(3)/(2)` =
`(x)/(111)` Cross multiply and solve for x

2x = 3(111)

2x = 333 Divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/(2)` =
`(333)/(2)`

x = 166.5

We need 166.5 ml of soy sauce when we have 111 ml of vinegar.

`(3)/(2)` =
`(111)/(x)` Cross multiply and solve for x

3x = 2(111)

3x = 222 Divide both sides by 3

`(3x)/(3)` =
`(222)/(3)`

x = 74

We need 74 ml of vinegar when we have 111 ml of soy sauce.
