Answer:
The answer is " red cups is "5.25""
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
red paint= [tex]3\frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2} =3.5[/tex]
yellow paint= [tex]4\frac{1}{2}= \frac{9}{2} =4.5[/tex]
total cups=12
i) The Ratio of red and yellow is= 3.5 : 4.5
If the red cups are= [tex]\frac{3.5}{8}[/tex]
number of red cups:
[tex]\to \frac{3.5}{8}\times 12\\\\\to \frac{3.5}{2}\times 3\\\\\to 3.5\times 1.5\\\\\to 5.25[/tex]
ii)
[tex]\to 3.5x+4.5x=12......(a)\\\\\to 8x=12\\\to x=\frac{12}{8}\\\\\to x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\[/tex]
put the value of x in equation (a):
[tex]\to 3.5 \times \frac{3}{2}+4.5\times \frac{3}{2}=12\\\\\to 35 \times \frac{3}{20}+45\times \frac{3}{20}=12\\\\\to 5.25+6.75=12[/tex]
iii)
if [tex]\frac{4.5}{8} \times 12= 6.75[/tex] yellow cups used in making orange paint
so, red paint +yellow paint = total cups
let, red paint cups =x
⇒x+6.75=12
⇒x=12-6.75
⇒x=5.25
The value of red cups is 5.25.
