Question

Gina’s art teacher mixes 9 pints of yellow paint with 6 pints of blue paint to create green paint.Gina mixes 4 pints of yellow paint with 3 pints of blue paint. Did Gina use the same ratio of yellow paint to blue paint that her teacher used? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

From the calculation it is clear that ratio of paint use by Gina is not same as that of teacher .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The quantity of yellow paint mix by teacher = 9 pints

The quantity of blue paint mix by teacher = 6 pints

The quantity of yellow paint mix by Gina = 4 pints

The quantity of blue paint mix by Gina = 3 pints

Let The ratio of yellow to blue paint by teacher = x : y

i.e x : y = 9 : 6

or, x : y = 3 : 2

So,  The ratio of yellow to blue paint by teacher = 3 : 2

Again

The ratio of yellow to blue paint by Gina = a : b

i.e a : b = 4 : 3

or, a : b = 4 : 3

The ratio of yellow to blue paint by Gina = 4 : 3

Hence, from the calculation it is clear that ratio of paint use by Gina is not same as that of teacher . Answer
