A salad dressing is made by mixing yoghurt and mayonnaise in the ratio 3:5
Karolina makes 800 ml of the salad dressing
How much yogurt does she use?



Answer :

Answer:

300 ml of yogurt

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of yogurt Karolina uses in making the salad dressing, we first need to determine the ratio of yogurt to mayonnaise, which is 3:5.

Let the amount of yogurt be 3x and the amount of mayonnaise be 5x, where x is a common factor.

Since the total mixture is 800 ml, the sum of the parts in the ratio is 3x + 5x = 8x = 800 ml.

Now, solve for x:

[tex]8x=800\\x=\frac{800}{8} =100[/tex]

Karolina uses 3 parts of yogurt, which is 3 * 100 = 300 ml of yogurt in making the salad dressing.
