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.
