Betty needs a specific shade of coral paint that is made using a 5:3 ratio of red to lime green paint. The lime green paint is made from yellow paint and blue paint. Betty wants 4 qt of the coral paint. How much red, yellow, and blue paint will she need to make this paint, and what percent of the final mix is each color? Solve this problem in two ways.
5:3 5+3=8 8 units 4qt=8 units divide by 8 0.5qt=1unit 5 unit=red 5*0.5=2.5qt, red=2.5qt 3unit=lime 0.5*3=1.5qt 1.5qt, 2/3 of that is yellow, 1/3 is blue, 1.5 times 2/3=1, 1.5 times 1/3=0.5 result: 2.5qt red 1qt yellow 0.5qt blue
