Question

Mai makes her favorite shade of green paint by using 5 cups of blue paint for every 3 cups of yellow paint. Priya makes her favorite shade of green paint by using 7 cups of blue paint for every 5 cups of yellow paint. Whose favorite shade of green paint has more of a blue tint? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Priya

Explanation:

Mai= 5:3 Priya=7:5

Mai= 15:15 Priya=21:15

The ratios above are blue:yellow so Priya's shade has more of a blue tint because it is 21:15 and Mai's is 15:15 so it is evenly spread.
