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
