Answer 1

$\sf{\pink{\large{\underline{Given:-}}}}$

You mix 7 tablespoons of vinegar for every 4 tablespoons of baking soda to produce a chemical reaction. You use 15 tablespoons of baking soda.

$\sf{\blue{\large{\underline{To\:find:-}}}}$

How much vinegar is used?

$\sf{\orange{\large{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

1st case:

Tablespoon of vinegar taken (v) = 7

Tablespoon of baking soda taken (b) = 4

Therefore Ratio between v and b = 7 : 4

2ns case:

Tablespoon of vinegar taken (v) = x

Tablespoon of baking soda taken (b) = 15

Therefore Ratio between v and b = x : 15

A/q

7 : 4 : : x : 15

Product of extremes = Product of means

$⟶$7 * 15 = 4 * x

$⟶$x = (7 * 15)/4

$⟶$x = 26.25
