Given:

Jonathan is creating a cleaning solution that calls for 4 parts water for every 3 parts vinegar.

Jonathan pours 10 mL of water into the solution.

To find:

The amount of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 4x be the amount of water.

Let 3x be the amount of vinegar.

Since 4x be the amount of water is 10ml.

So, we can write


\begin{gathered} 4x=10 \\ x=2.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the amount of vinegar is,


\begin{gathered} 3x=3*2.5 \\ =7.5ml \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The amount of vinegar is 7.5ml.
