Question

Saul makes green paint by mixing blue paint and yellow paint.

For every 3 gallons of blue paint, they use 1 gallon of yellow paint.

Drag the correct number of each type of paint into the box that would make 16 gallons of paint the same shade of green as Saul's.

Answer 1

12 gallons of yellow paint

4 gallons of blue paint

Explanation:

saul’s paint ratio is 3b to 1y which makes 4ounces of paint total (3b+1y=4)

So if you want 16 gallons of paint total using the same ratio of colors then you need to figure out how many of the recipe you will need to put in by dividing

16/4=4 so 4 times the original recipe

Now multiply the original paint numbers by 4 since you will do the ratio 4 times

3y*4= 12 gallons of yellow paint and

1b*4= 4 gallons of blue paint

Hope this helps! :)
