Question

GETS BRAINILIST!!The graph shows the number of gallons of white paint that were mixed with gallons of red paint in various different ratios: Graph titled Mixing Paint, horizontal axis labeled Red Paint in gallons, and vertical axis labeled White Paint in gallons is shown. The horizontal scale is 0 to 40 in increments of 5. The vertical scale is 0 to 200 in increments of 25. The plotted points are 5, 25 and 10, 50 and 15, 75. The number of gallons of white paint mixed with 1 gallon of red paint is ______. Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for Blank 1:

Explanation:

just did this pretest on FLVS recently.

Hope my answer helps!! :)

Answer 2

The number of gallons of white paint mixed with 1 gallon of red paint is 5

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of gallons of red paint

y ----> the number of gallons of white paint

we have the ordered pairs

(5,25), (10,50) and (15,75)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form
`y/x=k` or
`y=kx`

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have a proportional relationship between the variables x and y

The ratio of the number of gallons of white paint mixed with 1 gallon of red paint is equal to the constant of proportionality k or slope of the linear equation

`K=y/x`

For (5,25) ----->
`K=25/5=5`

For (10,50) ----->
`K=50/10=5`

For (15,75) ----->
`K=75/15=5`

therefore

The number of gallons of white paint mixed with 1 gallon of red paint is

`5\ (gallons\ of\ white\ paint)/(gallon\ of\ red\ paint)`
