Answer 1

Answer:

vinegar at a ratio 3 : 11. If Kris used 5 1/3 cups of vinegar, how many cups of water did she use

Answer 2

Given:

The ratio of water and vinegar = 3:11

Cups of vinegar used = 5.1/3

To Find:

How many cups of water were used

Solution:

Solution = 3:11

Thus,

Let water be = 3x

Let vinegar be = 11x

Therefore,

W/V = 3/11

So,

11x = 5.1/3cup

11x = 16/3

x = 16/33

Substituting the value of x in water's quantity which is = 3x

= 3 x ( 16/33)

= 16/11

Answer: The total number of water cups used are 1.5/11.
