Question

Jessie has several bottles of used paint. He has three bottles of bluepaint. The first bottle is 1/8 full, the second bottle is 1/4 full, and the third bottle is 1/4 full. He has one bottle of yellow paint that is 1/2 full. Which of the following correctly compares the blue paint to the yellow paint?

Answer 1

Jessie has 5/8 of blue paint and 1/2 of yellow paint

blue to yellow paint can be represented as a ratio of 5/8:1/2

it can also be represented as the inequality 1/2>5/8

Explanation

1/4 is equivalent to 2/8

2/8+2/8+1/8= 5/8 (total amount of blue paint)

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8

hope this helps!

have a great day :)
