Parker and Hailey each made a batch of paint in the Paint Mixer. Hailey's batch was in the ratio 4 red : 6 yellow. Parker wants to have the same color as Hailey, but he added 6 red : 9 yellow. Is their paint the same color or not? Explain how you know.

Answer:

No, Parker has more yellow then red in his batch to match Hailey's batch.

Explanation:

If Parker's batch was 7 red : 9 yellow or 6 red : 8 yellow then Parker's batch would be equivalent to Hailey's batch.
