Question

Jacob mixes 1/3 cup of yellow paint for every 1/5 cup of blue paint to make green paint.

How many cups of yellow paint are needed for 1 cup of blue paint?
(Write answer in fraction)

Answer 1

5/3 yellow cups of paint

Explanation:

Yellow: 1/3

Blue: 1/5

Multiply each by 5 because 1/5 times 5 is one

1/3(5) = 5/3

1/5(5) = 5/5

Final Answer:

Blue: 5/5

Yellow: 5/3
