Question

To decorate a cake, you make a shade of green icing using 3 drops of yellow food coloring for every 4 drops of blue. If you use 12 drops of yellow food coloring, how many drops of blue food coloring would you need?

Answer 1

You would need 16 because 3 × 4 = 12 and you need to do the same to the blue so you would do the equation 4 × 4 = ? which is 16.
