Answer:

15/29

Explanation:

Olive oil = 5/8

Vinegar = 1/4

Let us find a common multiple that would help us easily make computation

We know that 5/8 = 15/24

and that 1/4 = 6/24

That means the mixture requires olive oil to be 15 parts out of 24

and requires vinegar to be 6 parts out of 24.

This means that the composition of salt, pepper, and sugar would be:

1 - (15/24 + 6/24)

= 1 - (21/24) = 3/24

This means that each is approximately 1 part of the mixture.

Hence if Vinegar is doubled: we have 12 parts of 24, instead of 6 parts of 24

And sugar is omitted, that means Sugar = 0 part of 24 instead of 1 part of 24

Total parts become = 15 + 12 + 1 + 1+ 0 = 29

From this 29 parts, 15 parts are olive, hence the olive proportion becomes:

15 parts of 29 = 15/29

xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

These branches of the federal government are the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.

The executive branch is the President of the United States. The President is the most important leader of the United States. He is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the chief diplomat. He has the power to sign executive orders and veto legislation created by legislators.

The legislative branch is the US Congress. It is divided into two chambers; The lower chamber or House of Representatives and the upper chamber or Senate. The US Congress has the power to create laws and regulate domestic trade and foreign trade.

The judicial branch is the Supreme Court, the most important court in the United States. The judicial branch oversees the justice system in America and has the power to declare a law, unconstitutional.

These three branches are subjected to the checks and balances system created by the founding fathers. This means that none of the three branches has more power than the other. This is good for the US because this maintains the proper balance between the branches.
