Question

When you mix two colors of paint in equivalent ratios, the resulting color is

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table,

To prepare a mixture of a paint, two paints of different shades have been added in the same ratio,

Since, 2 cups of blue paint are mixed with 10 cups of yellow paint

Therefore, ratio in which these shades have been added = $\frac{\text{Pink}}{\text{Blue}}$

                                                                                                = $\frac{10}{2}$

                                                                                                = $\frac{5}{1}$

                                                                                                = 5 : 1

For 1 cup of blue paint number of cups of yellow paint required,

$\frac{x}{1}=\frac{5}{1}$

x = 5 cups

For 3 cup of blue paint number of cups of yellow paint required,

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{5}{1}$

x = 15 cups

Cups of blue paint                Cups of yellow paint

            2                                             10

            1                                               5

            3                                              15
