Final answer:

The answer is D) Oil and Vinegar, which are often used in salad dressings in a ratio that can be equivalent to 1/2 | 1/8 when adjusted.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a recipe that includes two ingredients with a ratio of 1/2 | 1/8, we need to consider ingredients that are typically used in those proportions in recipes. Looking at the options provided:

  • A) Flour and Water
  • B) Sugar and Salt
  • C) Milk and Eggs
  • D) Oil and Vinegar

Option D) Oil and Vinegar often has a ratio that could fit the requirement. For example, a salad dressing might call for 1/4 cup of vinegar to 1 cup of oil, which simplifies down to a ratio of 1/4 | 1, or by multiplying both sides by 2, we achieve 1/2 | 2 which is equivalent to 1/2 | 1/8 when we divide both parts of the ratio by 8.
