We can solve this question using equivalent ratios
Here, we're comparing ounces of vinegar to cups of sushi rice So our ratio is: (ounces of vinegar)/(ounces of vinegar)
Let x = the number of ounces of vinegar needed We can write: (2/3)/2 = (x)/7 Cross multiply to get: (2/3)(7) = (2)(x) Simplify: 14/3 = 2x Divide both sides by 2 to get: 7/3 = x
