Answer 1

Answer:

The mixtures are not proportional.

3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The one mixture contains 6 fluid ounces and 10 fluid ounces of water and vinegar respectively.

Therefore, the ratio of water to vinegar in the first mixture is 6 : 10 = 3 : 5

Now, a second mixture contains 9 fluid ounces of water and 12 fluid ounces of vinegar.

Hence, the ratio of water to vinegar in the second mixture is 9 : 12 = 3 : 4

Therefore, the mixtures are not proportional.

Therefore, we have to add x fluid ounces of vinegar to the second mixture to make it in the ratio of 3 : 5.

So, $\frac{9}{12 + x} = \frac{6}{10}$

⇒ 12 + x = 15

⇒ x = 3 fluid ounces.

Therefore, 3 fluid ounces of vinegar has to be added in the second mixture to make it proportional to the first mixture. (Answer)
