The directions on a bottle of vinegar say,"mix 1 cup of vinegar with 1 gallon of water to make a cleaning solution." the ratio of vinegar to water is 1 to 16.
part a -how many cups of water should be mixed with 1/4 cup of vinegar to make of cleaning solution? part b -how many fluid ounces of vinegar should be mixed with 80 fluid ounces of water to make the cleaning solution? part c -the bottle contains 1 quart of vinegar. what is the total number of quarts of cleaning solution that can be made using the entire bottle of vinegar? part d -a spray bottle holds up to 1 cup of the cleaning solution. when the spray bottle is full, what fraction of the cleaning solution is vinegar?

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
