Question

Geela makes orange paint with 5 parts yellow to

every 2 parts red. If she used 6 parts red, how
many parts yellow would she need?

Answer 1

Ratio of yellow paint to red is 5:2
But with red being 6, the ratio is; x:6
So, what number did use to get 6 (6/2 is 3)
So multiply 5 by 3 as well which is 15 parts of yellow

Answer 2

answer: 15 parts yellow || ratio- 5:2=?:6 (determine how you get the 2 to be a 6) multiply by 3, so then just multiply the other side by 3
