Question

Arturo's food coloring uses the ratio 30 drops yellow to 27 drops blue. Ravi's food coloring uses the ratio 30 drops to 24 drops blue. Linda says that Arturo's food coloring is yellower because 27>24. Do you agree? Explain.

Answer 1

Linda is wrong

Explanation:

27>24 just means 27 is greater than 24, but in this case, it does not matter. Ravi would have a more yellow color because there is less blue. The yellow would overpower the blue in both cases, but Ravi would have more of a yellow tint.
