A ratio of 3:2:5 means that there would be a total of 10 ounces
if there were 20 ounces the ratio would be 6:4:10
therefore if it's 25 it will be 7.5:5:12.5

Soy sauce for 25ounces is 5

Ketchup, soy sauce, and mayonnaise are mixed together in a ratio of 3 : 2 : 5 to make Mr. Anderson’s special sauce. If Mr. Anderson prepared 25 ounces of special sauce for his upcoming barbeque, how many ounces of soy sauce did he use?

(A) 2.5
(B) 5
(C) 7.5
(D) 10
(E) 12.5

3x+2x+5x=25
10x=25
x=2.5
2.5*2=5
Answer B
