9. Miguel is mixing up a salad dressing. Regardless of the number of servings, the recipe requires that 5/8 of the finished dres

sing mix be olive oil, 1/4 vinegar, and the remainder an even mixture of salt, pepper and sugar. If Miguel accidentally doubles the vinegar and forgets the sugar altogether, what proportion of the botched dressing will be olive oil?

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

How does meiosis differ from mitosis?
aniked [119]

Answer:

In cell biology, mitosis  is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Cell division gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained. Therefore, mitosis is also known as equational division. In general, mitosis is preceded by S phase of interphase (during which DNA replication occurs) and is often followed by telophase and cytokinesis; which divides the cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane of one cell into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. The different stages of mitosis altogether define the mitotic (M) phase of an animal cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells genetically identical to each other.
