Question

A pink crayon is made with 12 mL, of red wax for every 5mL of white wax.

Which of the following wax mixtures will create the same shade of pink?
Choose 2 answers:
A
10 mL of red wax mixed with 24mL of white wax

B
48 mL of red wax mixed with 12mL of white wax

C
13mL of red wax mixed with 6mL of white wax

D
36mL of red wax mixed with 15mL of white wax

E
60mL of red wax mixed with 25mL of white wax

Answer 1

Multiply 12 and 5 (by the same number) and add them to get whatever total ml of crayon wax is specified.

Ex: Total ml divided by 17, then find how many parts are red(12ml) and white(5ml)

Answer 2

The answer is d because 12 x 3 is 36 so you have to do the same to the other side so 5 x 3 is 15
