Question

A paint color requires the ratio of green paint to yellow paint to be 4 : 9. A container of this paint has 36 pints of yellow paint. How many pints of paint are in the container all together? *

Answer 1

16:36

Explanation:

If the ratio is 4:9 and yellow paint is 36 that means you have multiple 9 by a number and that number would be 4 to get 36 and you just multiply 4 by 4 which is 16 and your new ratio will be 16:36

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

If the ratio is 4:9 and there is 36 pints of yellow then it would be 4:9=x:36. 36 divided by 9 is 4 so you would multiply 4 to 4 and get 16.
