Answer:

64 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

Represent blue with b and yellow with y

b = 3

y = 8

Required

What's the value of y when b = 24

Represent the given and required parameters as ratio

3 : 8 and 24 : y

Turn the ratio to an equation

3 : 8 = 24 : y

Represent as fraction

⅜ = 24/y

Multiply both sides by y

⅜y = 24

Make y the subject

y = 24 * 8/3

y = 64

Hence:

64 ounces of yellow paints is required for 24 ounces of blue paints

Multiplicative Inverse Property

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A multiplicative reverse is a reciprocal. A complementary is one of a couple of numbers that when increased with another number equivalents the number 1. The multiplicative converse property expresses that for each number that isn't zero, x increased with 1/x will rise to 1.

In mathematics, a multiplicative backwards or corresponding for a number x, meant by 1/x or x−1, is a number which when increased by x yields the multiplicative personality, 1. ... For instance, the corresponding of 5 is one fifth (1/5 or 0.2), and the equal of 0.25 is 1 partitioned by 0.25, or 4.

X has no coefficient so it will be the fastest to multiply which would be solving for y but it is the reason why it is better to solve for y first
