Answer: 3. 3 over 4 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of tablespoons Kaya used of vinegar=3

Number of tablespoons Kaya used of olive oil=4

thus the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4.

Thus [tex]\frac{vinegar}{olive\ oil}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Now if 1 tablespoon of olive oil is used then the amount of vinegar should be used=[tex]\frac{vinegar}{1}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex] tablespoons

Hence, 3 over 4 tablespoon of vinegar is mixed with every tablespoon of olive oil because the ratio of vinegar to olive oil is 3:4
