Answer:
6 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio
12 : 2 ( divide both parts by 2 )
= 6 : 1 ← in the form n : 1
The 11th triangular number = 66
The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y.
3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
x = 2y
Solving the equation,
3(2y) + 2y = 16
y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons.
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.
