Question

iam and Evan are mixing paint. Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 314 jars of blue paint. Evan uses 12 quart of yellow paint and adds 512 jars of red paint. They end up with the same volume of paint.

Answer 1

yea but what is the final volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

`2 + (3(1)/(4))x = (1)/(2) + (5(1)/(2) )y`

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question:

Liam and evan are mixing paint. Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. Evan uses 1/2 quart of yellow paint and adds 5 1/2 jars of red paint. They end up with the same volume of paint. Write an equation to represent the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we don't know how many quarts are there in each jar of Liam and Evan. So, we will assume Liam's jar has
`x` quarts and Evan's jar has
`y` quarts.

Now, total quarts of Liam will be

`2(yellow-paint) + (3(1)/(4) )x(blue-paint)`

And, total quarts of Evan will be

`(1)/(2) (yellow-paint) + (5(1)/(2) )y(blue-paint)`

We know that the final volume of both paints is equal. So, we get

`2 + (3(1)/(4))x = (1)/(2) + (5(1)/(2) )y`
