Call x the volume of first brand (9% vinegar) and y the volume of the second brand (15% vinegar).

1) Balance on vinegar content:

x*9% + y*15% = 330 * 11%

=> 9x + 15y = 3630     ---- Equation (1)


2) Balance on volume of dressing:

x + y = 330    ---- Equation (2)

3) Mulitply equation (2)

9x + 9y = 2970

4) subtract from equation (1)

=> 15y - 9y = 3630 - 2970

=> 6y = 660

=> y = 660 / 6

=> y = 110 ml

5) replace y value in the equation (2)

x + 110 = 330

=> x = 330 - 110

=> x = 220 ml.

Answer: he should use 220 ml of the first brand (9% vinegar) and 110ml of the second brand (15% vinegar).

marin [14]

Answer:

All carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

Saturated fats are class of compounds having all the fatty acids containing only single bonds. In other words, carbon skeleton has only single bonds.

Unsaturated compounds undergoes hydrogenation to form saturated fats.

In hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the carbon attached to double bond. After become saturated, no more hydrogen atoms can be added.

Therefore, it can be said that in saturated fats all carbons in the carbon skeleton contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
