Answer:

42 teaspoons of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x \to vegertable[/tex]

[tex]y \to vinegar[/tex]

[tex]x : y = 4 :12[/tex]

Required

Find y when [tex]x = 14[/tex]

[tex]x : y = 4 :12[/tex] implies that:

[tex]14 : y = 4 : 12[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{y}{14} = \frac{12}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y}{14} = 3[/tex]

Multiply by 3

[tex]y = 14* 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 42[/tex]
