Question

Suppose one person used 2 parts blue paint to 3 parts yellow paint. Another person used 4 parts blue paint to 6 parts yellow paint. Do the ratios of blue paint to yellow paint form a proportional relationship? Explain!

Answer 1

Yes, ratios of blue paint to yellow paint form a proportional relationship

Explanation:

In case of the first person:

Number of blue parts = 2

Number of yellow parts
`=3`

In case of another person:

Number of blue parts
`=4`

Number of yellow parts
`=6`

Ratio of blue parts
`=2:4=1:2`

Ratio of yellow parts
`=3:6=1:2`

As ration of blue parts is equal to the ratio of yellow parts, ratios of blue paint to yellow paint form a proportional relationship
