Ms. Reed makes salad dressing by combining oil and vinegar. She combines 8 fluid ounces of oil and 3 fluid ounces of vinegar to make one batch. Ms. Reed makes 3 batches of salad dressing. How many total cups of salad dressing does she make?

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that she makes 4.125 cups of salad dressing.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, she makes 3 batches, each with 8 fluid ounces of oil and 3 fluid ounces of vinegar, that is, each with 11 fluid ounces, hence she used 3 x 11 = 33 fluid ounces.

Since each fluid ounce is equivalent to 0.125 cups.

33 x 0.125 = 4.125.

She makes 4.125 cups of salad dressing.
