Miguel is mixing up a salad dressing. Regardless of the number of servings, the recipe requires that 5/8 of the finished dressing mix be olive oil, 1/4 vinegar, and the remainder an even mixture of salt, pepper and sugar. If Miguel accidentally doubles the vinegar and forgets the sugar altogether, what proportion of the botched dressing will be olive oil? Choices:
A) 15/29  B) 5/8  C) 5/16  D) 1/2  E) 13/27
Olive Oil = 240*5/8=

<output>150</output>
150   Vinegar= 240*1/4= 
<gadget id="calculator">240*1/4</gadget>
<output>60</output>
60   Remainder (240-210) equally divided in three parts   Salt= 10   Pepper = 10   Sugar = 10   The question then says Miquel doubles the vinegar and forgets sugar. Therefore, we will bad salad will have   150 + 120 (for 60*2) + 10+10 = 290   Ratio of Olive Oil/ New salad = 150/290 ie 15/29.   15/29NSWER:15/29
