Answer 1

Answer:

35.64 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total vinegar = 132 ounces

1$\frac{1}{2}$ rice vinegar to 4 parts of cidar:

(1 1/2 = 1.5)

rice : cidar = 1.5 : 4

Rice vinegar part: $\frac{1.5}{5.5}$ = 0.27 (which is 27%)

Rice Vinegar needed:  27 percent of 132 ounces

$\frac{1.5}{5.5}$ × 132

= (0.27) × 132

= 35.64 ounces
