Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the recipe ratio is 2b:7y so we’ll call that one portion

Let’s see which paint will restrict the ratio:

Yellow: If there are 49 ounces of yellow left then divide that by 7 to find out how many portions she has so 49/7=7

This means the artist can do the recipe 7 times with the amount of yellow she has

Blue: she has 12 ounces of blue paint left so divide that by a single portion of blue for one recipe so 12/2= 6

This means the artist can only make 6 portions of perfect green paint in proportion to the single recipe


So how much yellow does she need to use based on the amount of blue she has left

She can do 6 portions so 7y*6= 42y

So the artist can use 12b and 42y together so add them to get 54 ounces of green paint is the most she can make and she will use the new recipe 12b for 42y to make it
