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 have changes in technology made polling more difficult?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

With changes in technology, it is not possible to precisely determine the number of people participating in the polling. This has made polling more difficult because it has caused changes in results.

Explanation:

When polling is projected, it is expected to have an estimated number of participations that will allow results to be calculated accurately. Changes in technology have made polling more difficult because it has made it impossible to determine which participations are true.

This is because through changes in technology a single person can participate in the polling using many accounts. This way, this person ends up testifying various false information and this modifies and hinders the polling result because it is not possible to know which accounts are true.
