The answer is 280.
Simply divide 700 by 5 and get 140.
Then multiply the 140 by 2 to get the oil amount.

Answer:

280ml of oil.

Explanation:

The first step to finding how much oil he should use, turn 5 : 2 into a fraction.

5 Since we know he uses 700ml of mayo, we use that to find the

2 amount of oil.

We use cross multiplication and use x for the amount of oil.

x = oil

5 = 700

2 x

2 x 700 = 1,400

1,400 ÷ 5 = 280

x = 280

In order to confirm if this is true, we check if the ratios are equivalent.

5/2 = 700/280

simplify 700/280 by finding the gcf

GCF = 140

700 ÷ 140 = 5

280 ÷ 140 = 2

5 : 2 or 5/2

Therefore, it is correct
