Question

Explain how to find the unit rate of water to vinegar

Answer 1

Helena uses double the amount of water to the amount of vinegar.

Explanation:

• A unit rate is a ratio that is used to compare different kinds of quantities.

• A unit rate describes how many units of the first quantity corresponds to one unit of the second quantity.

• So, unit rate of water to vinegar means how much water is needed corresponding to 1 unit of vinegar.
• Formula:

`\text{Unit Rtae} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Amount of Water}}{\text{Amount of Vinegar}} = \displaystyle(5)/(2(1)/(2)) = 2`

• Thus, for every 1 unit of vinegar, one needs two units of water.

Thus, Helena uses double the amount of water to the amount of vinegar.
