Question

In the context of a recipe for salad, if the equation V = 1/3L gives the amount of vinegar needed (V) in terms of the amount of olive oil (L), what is the equation describing the recipe giving olive oil (L) in terms of vinegar (V)?

A. L = 3V
B. L = 1/3V
C. L = V
D. V = 3L

Answer 1

To find the equation for olive oil (L) in terms of vinegar (V) in a salad recipe, rearrange the equation V = 1/3L to get L = 3V.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of a recipe for salad that specifies the equation V = 1/3L for the amount of vinegar (V) in terms of the amount of olive oil (L), we want to find the equation that gives olive oil (L) in terms of vinegar (V). To do this, we can rearrange the original equation to solve for L. Multiplying both sides by 3, we obtain L = 3V. Therefore, the correct equation describing the recipe giving olive oil in terms of vinegar is L = 3V.
