Question

Four students in an art class mixed red and blue paint to make purple. The amounts they used are shown in the table. Which student made a different shade of purple than the other students.

Answer 1

Based on the mixtures of the four students in the art class, the student with a different shade of purple would be Aiden.

Why would Aiden's mixture be different?

In order to solve this question, look at the ratio of red paint to blue paint for all the students:

Alec:

1¹/₃ : ²/₃

2 : 1

Rosa:

2¹/₂ : 1 ¹/ ₄

2  :  1

Aidan:

4¹/₂  : 2

2.25 :  2

Zoe:

5 : 2¹/₂

2 : 1

Notice that Aidan's mixture is the only one that is different and so will have a different shade of purple as a result.
