Question

A jar of vinegar and olive salad dressing says that it contains three fourths of a cup of vinegar and two and a half cups of oli how much vinegar would be needed to make 26 cups of the same dressing?

Answer 1

So 3/4 converted to a decimal is 0.75 .

0.75 X 26 = 19.5

So the answer could be 19.5, but if that’s not available it’s probably because they want it converted back to a fraction.

The answer would be 39/2. Still don’t see that as an answer choice? They might want you to convert that to a mixed number which is 19 1/2 .

Answer: 19.5 , 39/2, or 19 1/2
All are correct
