Question

To make a shade of paint call Jasper green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint how much green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint to make Jasper green?

Answer 1

96 cups

Explanation:

We need to have the same measurement to do calculations. We can convert qaurts into cups. The conversion factor is:

1 quart = 4 cups

Therefore:

`=4\cdot{4}=16`

4 quartz is 16 cups.

So he must mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint. The ratio is:

`=16/(2/3)=24`

24 cups of green paint to 1 cup of black paint. For 4 cups of black paint you need:

`=24\cdot{4}=96`

96 cups of green paint

Answer 2

Answer: 8 quarts of green paint is needed to be mixed with 4 cups of black paint to make Jasper green.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

To make a shade of paint call Jasper green,

`(2)/(3)\text{ cups of black paint is needed to mix with 4 quarts of green.}`

So, we will use " Unitary method " i.e.

`\text{ 1 cup of black paint is needed to mix ,}`

`4* (3)/(2)\text{ quarts of green paint }\\\\=6\text{ quarts of green paint}`

Now, we need to calculate how much of green paint is to be mix with 4 cups of black paint,

4 cups of black paint needs

`4* 2=8\text{ quarts of green color}`

Hence, 8 quarts of green paint is needed to be mixed with 4 cups of black paint to make Jasper green.
