Let's say Olive oil = O, Balsamic Vinegar = B, Salad Dressing = S
For the salad dressing she uses 3 parts olive oil to 2 parts balsamic vinegar
So we can say for every 3 ml of olive oil, she needs 2ml of balsamic vinegar
We know she has 120ml of olive oil, so first step is to find how much balsamic vinegar she will be using.
Remember, for every 3 ml of Olive Oil, she needs 2ml of Balsamic Vinegar .
if you do 120 divided by 3 = 40
So she is making 40 times the amount of salad dressing.
This means you need to multiply the amount of balsamic vinegar by 40.
B = 40 times 2 = 80 ml
So now for the dressing we know :
She uses 120 ml of olive oil and 80 ml of balsamic vinegar.
So to find how many ml of salad dressing she can make, you just add the two.
S = O + B = 120 + 80 = 200 ml
Using proportions, it is found that she can make 80 milliliters of salad dressing.
The rule of three is:
3 parts of olive oil - 2 parts of balsamic vinegar.
120 ml - x ml
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]3x = 2(120)[/tex]
[tex]3x = 240[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{240}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 80[/tex]
She can make 80 milliliters of salad dressing.
