Question

Ava is buying paint from Amazon. Ava needs 3⁄4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. Ava has 28 ounces of white paint. How many cups of blue paint does he need?

Answer 1

21

Explanation:

So we know the ratio is 3/4:1

So if she has 28 ounces of white pain, we can do 28*3/4=21. You could also do 28/4 (find out how much 1/4 of the value is) which is 7 and then multiply that by 3. What your basically doing is your putting it into 4 equal parts and then just multiplying by 3 since that's the amount of parts you need/have.
