Question

A factory adds three red drops and two blue drops to coloring to white paint to make each pint of purple paint. The factory will make 50 gallons of this purple paint. How many drops of red and blue coloring will the factory need the 50 gallons batch of purple paint?

Answer 1

1200d rops of red coloring

800 drops of blue coloring

Explanation:

The first thing is to make your pints and gallons the same unit. Todo this multiply 50 (the total amount of gallons) by 8 (the number of pints in a gallon)

50*8=400

next, multiply the drops of coloring out.

To do this multiply 400 by 3 drops for red

400*3=1200

Then Multiply 400 by 2 for blue

400*2=800
