Question

what type of green paint is made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue a.find a mixture that will make the same shade of green but a smaller amount

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are given that a shade of green is prepared using 2 cups of yellow and 3.5 cups of blue.

We want to make the same shade of green, but lesser quantity. We can assume a smaller value for either of the yellow or the blue colors, and find the corresponding value of the other to figure out the answer.

Let us assume that 1 cup of yellow is mixed with x cups of blue to prepare the same shade of the green. Now we can set up the ratios as shown below:

`(1)/(x)=(2)/(3.5)\\2x=3.5\\x=1.75`

Therefore, 1 cup of yellow and 1.75 cups of blue color will also make the same shade of green
