Adalyn uses 1/5 cup of blue paint for every 2/5 cup of red paint to make purple paint. Enter the number of cups of blue paint Adalyn uses for 1 cup of red paint.

Answer 1

Given that;

Adalyn uses 1/5 cup of blue paint for every 2/5 cup of red paint to make purple paint.

$\frac{1}{5}\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow\frac{2}{5}\text{ cups of red paint}$

For 1 cup of red paint, the amount of blue paints Adalyn will use is;

$\frac{1}{5}\text{ cups of blue paint }\rightarrow\frac{2}{5}\text{ cups of red paint}$
