Question

A particle shade of orange paint has 2 cups of yellow paint for every 3 cups of red paint on the double number line circle the values of yellow and red paint needed for 3 batches of orange paint

Answer 1

Given,

2 cups of yellow paint is needed for every 3 cups of red paint to make a batch of orange paint,

So, the ratio of yellow paint and red paint in a batch of orange paint = 2 : 3

Make two number lines,

First one represents the multiple of 2 and second one represents the multiples of 3,

By the double number line ( shown below ),

It is clear that,

For 3 batches of orange paint, 6 cups of yellow paint and 9 cups of red paint are needed.
