Question

A recipe for potato salad calls for one teaspoon of vinegar for every 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise. How many teaspoons of vinegar are needed for 16 teaspoons of mayonnaise

Answer 1

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The amount of vinegar is the amount of mayo divided by 2. therefore the answer is 8 teaspoons of vinegar.

If it were the other way around and you knew the amount of vinegar and needed to find out the amount of mayo, you would multiply the vinegar by 2
