Question

Last week, Gina's art teacher mixed 9 pints of red paint with 6 pints of white paint to make pink. Gina mixed 4 pints of red paint with 3 pints of white paint to make pink. Did Gina mix the same ratio of red red paint to white paint as her teacher?

Answer 1

No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3
