Answer 2

A mixture contains 4 fluid ounces of water for every 3 fluid ounces of blue food coloring How much blue food coloring needs to be added to 12 fluid ounces of water?

Answer: Let x be the amount of blue food coloring to be added to 12 fluid ounces of water.

Therefore, we have:

`(4)/(12)=(3)/(x)`

`4x=3 * 12`

`4x=36`

`x=(36)/(4) =9`

Therefore, 9 ounces of blue food coloring needs to be added to 12 fluid ounces of water.
