Question

Francesca is painting a picture of the purple flowers in her garden. She mixes paint to make the perfect color for each type of flower. For the daisies, she mixes 2 ounces of white paint and 5 ounces of purple paint. For the tulips, she mixes 3 ounces of white paint and 6 ounces of purple paint. Which flower is a darker shade of purple?

Answer 1

Daisies

Explanation:

IXL told me it was right

Answer 2

Find total ounces mixed for each flower:

Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces

Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces

Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:

Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714

Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666

Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.
