Question

Marc mixes blue and yellow paint to make his favorite shade of green, which he'll use to paint his house. He has 14 cans of blue paint and 20 cans of yellow paint when he starts. He wants the same green color every time he mixes, so the amounts of blue and yellow must always be proportional to the original mixture. On day 1, he mixes 4 cans of blue and 6 cans of yellow. On day 2, he mixes 6 cans of blue and 9 cans of yellow. 1. In simplest form, what is the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in the mixture? Type your answer in the space below.

Answer 1

The answer is 0,66

Explanation:

Assuming he gets the exact same shade of green everyday, the ratio of blue to yellow for Marc's green color is 0,66 because 4 / 6 and 6 / 9 give the same results when calculated in decimal.

I hope this answer helps.
