When the longer strip is on top and the litter strips fit perfectly under the longer one. For example, the fraction 1/3 and 3/6. One longer strip will be on the top representing 6. Then 3 litter 3s will be under that perfectly
30 gallons of red paint & 20 gallons of blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of red to blue paint drops to make purple paint is 3 : 2
Therefore the total number of gallon, in this case, fifty (50) is equivalent to the total of two ratios (which is 3 + 2 5)
If 5 in the ratio = 50; what about 2 & 3
5 = 50
2 = x
After cross multiplication;
5x = 50 * 2
X = 100/5
X = 20
The same for ratio 3
5 = 50
3 = y
5y = 50 * 3
y = 150/5
y = 30
The answer is therefore; 30 gallons of red paint to 20 gallons of blue paint

We can write a system of equations:
1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56
Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.
To find this we can solve using substitution.
Re-arrange the 2nd equation:
x + y = 56
Subtract 'y' to both sides:
x = -y + 56
Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.
1x + 10y = 182
1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182
-y + 56 + 10y = 182
Subtract 56 to both sides:
-y + 10y = 126
Combine like terms:
9y = 126
Divide 9 to both sides:
y = 14
Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.
x + y = 56
x + 14 = 56
Subtract 14 to both sides:
x = 42
So our final answer is (42, 14).
This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.
To solve this problem you must apply a theorem called: Intersecting secant theorem. The proccedure is shown below:
1) For the figure shown on the left:
(5)(x+5)=(6)(4+6)
5x+25=60
5x=60-25
x=35/5
x=7
2) For the figure shown on the right:
(3)(3+5)=(4)(x+4)
24=4x+16
24-16=4x
8=4x
8/4=x
x=2
