Question

An artist painted a group of 40 pictures. For every 8 pictures using light colors, the artist painted 2 using dark colors. How many pictures

were painted with light colors?

Answer 1

32

The pattern goes 8 light then 2 dark, so there are 10 in one cycle of the pattern before it repeats.

40/10=4

The pattern repeats 4 times.

If there are 8 dark ones every patter cycle, then 4x8=32 are dark paintings out of the 40 in total.

Answer 2

32 I think is the anwser
