Question

A science experiment calls for a ratioof 12 parts vinegar to 1 part bakingsoda. Which of the ratios belowwould be correct for this experiment?A. 24g vinegar : 2g baking sodaC. 1g vinegar: 12g baking sodaB. .5g vinegar : 6g baking sodaD. 12g vinegar : 6g baking soda

Answer 1

Given:

Ratio of vinegar to baking soda = 12 : 1

Let's select the ratio from the list which would be correct for this experiment.

Since the ratio of vinegar to baking soda is 12:1, to find the equivalent ratio, let's find the constant.

We have:

`12:1=(12)/(1)=12`

Now, the equivalent ratio must equal 12.

Now, let's verify from the ratio in A.

24g vinegar: 2g baking soda

Thus, we have:

`24:2=(24)/(2)=12`

Therefore, the correct ratio for this experiment is:

24g vinegar : 2g baking soda.

• ANSWER:

A. 24g vinegar : 2g baking soda.
