Question

Joe mixed 10 ozs of blue paint with 4 oz of white paint. he wants to make a batch using 18 oz of white paint, how much blue paint should he use?

explanation would be nice!!

Answer 1

45oz

Explanation:

We can find the ratio of white to blue paint he needs by dividing.

10 / 4 = 2.5oz of blue paint for every ounce of white paint

Now, we can multiply to find how much blue paint he needs.

18 * 2.5 = 45oz

Best of Luck!
