Question

A certain mixture of paint contains 5 parts white paint for every 4 parts blue paint. If a can of paint contains 75 ounces of white paint, how many ounces of blue paint are in the can?

Answer 1

i think 60 parts of blue paint are in the can.

Explanation:

ratio should be equal in both cases

therefore,let blue part in second case be x(suppose)

5÷4=75÷x

by equating this we will be able to identify the value of x

and the value of x comes 60 which is the required answer....

hope this will help you..

i try my best to give correct answer..

if i am mistake, i am sorry for that...
