Question

A type of green paint us made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue. a. Find a mixture that will make the same shade of green but larger amount.

Answer 1

Explanation:

easiest example : multiply both (it is important to do it to both) by 2 :

2×2 = 4 cups of yellow

3.5×2 = 7 cups of blue

will make the same shade of green, as the mixing ratio is the same.

just, instead of 5.5 cups, it gives us 11 cups of green paint (surprise, surprise, this is also twice as much) .
