Question

Julie is mixing drops of food coloring to create green frosting for a cake he use 18 drops of yellow dye and 12 drops of blue dye find out the ratio of drops of blue and red express is simplified ratio

Answer 1

Given:

Amount of drops of yellow dye = 18

Amount of drops of blue dye = 12

Total drops = 18 + 12 = 30

Let's find the ratio of drops of blue drops to total drops.

Ratio can be said to be how many times a number contains another number. It is used to compare values.

Ratio of A to B is written as==> A : B

To find the ratio of blue to yellow, we have:

Ratio of blue to yellow = Amount of blue drops : Amount of total drops

Ratio of blue to yellow = 12 : 30

Simplify the ratio by dividing the numbers by the Greates Common Factor(GCF).

GCF of 12 and 30 = 6

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 12^{}/6\colon30/6 \\ \\ =2\colon5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the ratio of blue drops to the total drops is = 2:5

ANSWER:

`2\colon5`
