Answer 2

The new ratio is
`(7)/(3)` ⇒ (D)

Explanation:

The given information is

• 6 parts of yellow paint with 3 parts of blue paints to make green paint
• The yellow paint adds by 1 part

We need to find the ratio of yellow to blue

Let us find the correct answer

∵ The yellow = 6 parts

∵ The yellow adds by 1 part

∴ The yellow = 6 parts + 1 parts = 7 parts

∵ The blue = 3 parts

∵ The ratio of yellow to blue =
`(yellow)/(blue)`

∴ The ratio of yellow to blue =
`(7)/(3)`

The new ratio is
`(7)/(3)`
