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.

Respuesta :

The ratio of blue paints to yellow paint is a mixture of 2 : 3.

What is the ratio of two quantities?

Suppose that we've got two quantities with measurements as 'a' and 'b'

Then, their ratio(ratio of a to b) a:b

or

[tex]\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex]

The Total cans of blue paint = 14

Total cans of yellow paint = 20

Day 1:

Yellow paint = 6 cans

Blue paint = 4 cans

The ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

= 2 : 3

Day 2:

Yellow paint = 9 cans

Blue paint = 6 cans

The ratio of blue paints to yellow paint

2 : 3

Day 3:

Cans of yellow remaining after 2 days

Yellow paint = Total cans of yellow paint - day 1 cans of yellow paint - day 2 cans of yellow paint

= 20 - 6 - 9

= 20 - 15

= 5 cans

Cans of blue remaining after 2 days

Blue paint = Total cans of blue paint - day 1 cans of blue paint - day 2 cans of blue paint

= 14 - 4 - 6

= 14 - 10

= 4 cans
