To answer this question, you will represent the amount of yards rushed by each running back.

x - Running back #1
9x - Running back #2

The combined yards was 1550, so put these together in an addition equation with a total of 1550.  Solve for x.

x + 9x = 1550
10x = 1550
x = 155

Running back #1 rushed 155 yards, and running back #2 rushed for 1395 yards.

Yes.

8 + 1 + 1 = 10, so there are 10 parts to the ratio.
3.5 litres divided by 10 would mean that each part of the ratio is worth 0.35 litres.
The colour is worth 8 parts of the ratio. 0.35 litres multiplied by 8 would give 2.8 litres, meaning 2.8 litres of colour are required.
Fiona has 2.9 litres of colour, which is more than enough to make 3.5 litres of paint mix.
