A chef is making pickles. He needs 15 gallons of vinegar. The store sells 2 gallons of vinegar for $3.00 and allows customers to buy any amount of vinegar. Decide whether each of the following ratios correctly represents the price of vinegar.
Think about equivalent ratios :). Draw a diagram, double number line or table if it helps
1 gallons to $1.50
4 gallons to $3.00
$2.00 to 30 gallons
30 gallons to $45.00
$1.00 to 2/3 gallons
