Question

A recipe calls for 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 tablespoons of vinegar. What is the ratio of oil to vinegar in this recipe?

Answer 1

10:3

Explanation:

Make 2 1/2 an improper fraction, you will get 5/2. You dont have to do anything to the 3/4.

For you to find the ratio of an fraction, you have to take the numerator but the denominator has to be the same.

So make 5/2 to a 10/4.

Take the numerator 10 & 3.

Your answer will be 10:3

No problem.
