Question

Marc mixes blue and yellow paint to make his favorite shade of green, which he'll use to paint his house. He has 14 cans of blue paint and 20 cans of yellow paint when he starts.
He wants the same green color every time he mixes, so the amounts of blue and yellow must always be proportional to the original mixture.

On day 1, he mixes 4 cans of blue and 6 cans of yellow.
On day 2, he mixes 6 cans of blue and 9 cans of yellow.

Fill in the blanks to find the highest number of cans of each color Marc can mix to make the same shade of green on day 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

mark on day three can use up to 4 cans of blue paint and 5 cans of yellow paint

Step-by-step explanation:

given--started with 14 cans of blue paint

given--started with 20 cans of yellow paint

given--used 10 cans of blue paint and 15 cans of yellow paint in total

by subtracting the blue paint he used with the amount he started with you get an answer of 4 blue paint cans--- vice verse--20 yellow paint cans minus 15 yellow paint cans equal 5 yellow paint cans.
