Question

Tanesha is mixing paint. She mixes 250 ml of white paint with 750 ml of red paint and 1200 ml of yellow paint. Work out the ratio of white to red to yellow paint. Write the answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:
`5:15:24`

Explanation:

Given

Tanesha mixes 250 ml white, 750 ml red, and 1200 ml yellow paint

So, the ratio of white, red, and yellow paint is

`\Rightarrow 250:750:1200\quad [\text{cancel by 25}]\\\Rightarrow 10:30:48\quad \text{[cancel by 2]}\\\Rightarrow 5:15:24`

The ratio of three paints is
`5:15:24`.
