Question

What is the ratio of 5 gallons blue paint to 9 gallons of yellow paint?

Answer 1

Wouldn't you divide? If so, 5/9 = 0.6

Answer 2

The ratio would be 1:1.8 (1 to 1.8).

This can be found by dividing 5 by 5 ( making the ratio say 1 to...) and dividing 9 by 5 giving you 1.8. Thus makin* the ratio 1:1.8 or 1 to 1.8.

I hope this helps!
