Answer:
2 quartz of the blue paint for every 10 quartz of yellow paint
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows the possible different amount of yellow paint and blue paint, in quartz, that can be mixed to obtain a shade of green paint.
On the graph, at the point with the coordinates pair of (2, 10), it means for we would require 2 quartz of blue paints to be mixed with every 10 quartz of yellow paint in order to get the shade of the green paint that we are looking for.
I see two ways to do it.
First, you have to understand that when you see a 'complex fraction' like this, the top number is a numerator, and the two bottom numbers are both denominators.
Way-1:
Take the top fraction . . . 2/2 . That's equal to 1 . So the whole thing is <em>1/3</em>.
Way-2:
Multiply the bottom two denominators. Then the whole thing is 2/(2·3) . That's the same thing as 2/6 . Simplify that, and you have <em>1/3</em> .
