Question

The Jelly Junior High School color is made by mixing red with yellow paint. The ratio of red to yellow is 3 to 5. How much red paint should be mixed with 20 oz of yellow.

12oz of red paint because since there is 20oz of red you multiply 5 by 4 so you multiply 3 by 4 which is 12

Answer 2

The ratio of red to yellow is 3 : 5
so for 20 oz of yellow , we need to mix 3/5 * 20 = 12 oz of red paint
