Answer 1

Answer: 9

Given

The ratio of vegetarian to the meat-filled item is 1:3

There are 18 meat-filled items on the menu

So, vegetarian items must be

`\Rightarrow (1)/(3)=(V)/(18)\\\\\Rightarrow V=(18)/(3)=6\ \text{items}`

Now, to make a ratio of 1:2, Vegetarian items must be

`\Rightarrow (1)/(2)=(V')/(18)\\\\\Rightarrow V'=(18)/(2)=9\ \text{items}`
