Explanation / Answer

tThe density of olive oil is 0.918 g/cm3, the density of vinegar is 1.006 g/cm3, and the two do not mix

let the volume of olive oil be x

then voulme f vinegar is 421.6-x

mass of olive oil=density * volume=0.918x

mass of vinegar=1.006*(421.6-x)

total mass=397.4g

0.918x+1.006(421.6-x)=397.4

x=303.74 volume of olive oil

421.6-x=117.85 volume of vinegar
