Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as ratio of vinegar to oil in fraction form:

That's what we're given. If we are looking to find how much oil he needs if he's using 9 ounces of vinegar, then 9 goes on top with the vinegar stuff and x goes on bottom as the unknown amount of oil:

Cross multiply to get
5x = 90 and
x = 18
Which you probably could do without the proportions. If he is using 5 ounces of vinegar and double that amount of oil, then it just makes sense that if he uses 9 ounces of vinegar he will double that amount in oil to use 18 ounces.
Riya’s BMI is 20 which means she is a normal weight. Her brother’s BMI is 18.7, which is low but is still a normal weight. So yes, their heights are proportioned to their weights.
2x + 2y = 48
2(x + y) = 48
x + y = 24
mean = 24/2 = 12
less than 20
This ratio is in a form of dogs:cats.
The ratio given means there are 3 dogs for every 2 cats.
You can rewrite it as 3 dogs:2 cats.
If there are 30 cats, you would write the ratio as x dogs:30 cats.
Since the same must be done to both sides, you must find how many times 2 was multiplied to get 30 then multiply dogs by that number.
30 / 2 = 15
3 • 15 = 45
So if a shelter has 30 cats, then it has 45 dogs.
This can be written in a ratio as 45:30, or 45 dogs:30 cats.
