Question

Jordann is painting her kitchen. To get the color she wants, she mixes 6 parts red paint and 2 parts yellow paint.

1) Write the ratio of parts red paint to parts yellow paint as a fraction.

2) Then, write the unit rate of red paint to yellow paint. (How many parts of red paint does she need for every 1 yellow part?)

What color do you imagine her kitchen will be?!

Answer 1

1. 6:2

2.for every 1 yellow paint, she needs 3 red paints

3.an orange

Explanation:

1. It would be 6:2 because for every 2 parts yellow she needs 6 parts red

2. Since the ratio is first 6:2, just divide it by 2 since there is 2 yellow and it's asking how much red you need for 1 yellow
