Question

To make a salad dressing, a chef uses a ratio of 2 ounces of oil to 6 ounces of vinegar. The chef needs 24 ounces of dressing. How much oil is needed? 2 ounces 4 ounces 6 ounces 8 ounces 12 ounces also 8 ounces isn't right and when you find the answer can you show me how you worked it out?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 ounces of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first salad dressing is probably 8 ounces because 2+6 = 8

Then we must find out how large this recipe compares to the original

24/8 = 3

So we need all the ingredients to be tripled to keep the same ratio of 2:6

The new dressing has 2*3 ounces of oil and 6*3 ounces of vinegar

which equals 6 ounces of oil and 18 ounces of vinegar.

Hope this helps!
