Question

Colin used 2 gallons of tan paint, 5 gallons of blue paint, and 1 gallon of green paint to paint the rooms in his house. What is the ratio of the number of gallons of green paint to the number of gallons of tan paint that Colin used?

Answer 1

The ration of the number of gallons of green paint to the number of tan paint Collins used is 1 is to 2

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of gallons of tan paint = 2 gallons

The number of gallons of blue paint = 5 gallons

The number of gallons of green paint = 1 gallons

Therefore, the ration of the number of gallons of green paint to the number of tan paint Collins used = (The number of gallons of green paint Collins used):(The number of tan paint Collins used) = 1 gallons:(2 gallons) = 1:2

The ration of the number of gallons of green paint to the number of tan paint Collins used = 1 is to 2.
