Answer:

40 tablespoons of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio is 2-5 so if you have 16-x you divide 16 by 2 and multiply with your quotient to the 5, which would be

2-5

16-x

16-5^8

16-40

Answer:

40 tablespoons

Step-by-step explanation:

what you need to do is divide 16 by 2 and then multiply by 5, or you can divide 5 by 2 and then multiply by 16. so what you would get is 16/2 is 8 and then times 5 is 40. or 5/2 is 2.5 then times 16 is 40
