The ratio of parts of vinegar to baking soda for a cleaning mixture is 3 to 1. How many parts of vinegar are needed if there are 6 parts of baking soda? (1 point) Responses 3 3 19 19 18 18 8 8

Answer 1

Given the ratio of vinegar to baking soda is 3 to 1, for every 3 parts of vinegar, there is 1 part of baking soda.

If there are 6 parts of baking soda, we can set up the following relationship based on the ratio:

Let \( v \) be the parts of vinegar. According to the ratio:

\[ \frac{v}{6} = \frac{3}{1} \]

Cross-multiplying gives:

\[ v = 6 \times 3 = 18 \]

Thus, you need 18 parts of vinegar.

The correct response is 18.
