Answer:

It is needed \frac{8}{5} cups of yellow paint to mix with one cup

of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- To make the orange pint, Roger mixed 5/8 cup of red paint to one

 cup of yellow paint

∴ The ratio of red paint to yellow paint is 5/8 : 1

- Lets simplify it by multiplying the two terms of the ratio by 8

∵ \frac{5}{8}(8):1(8)

∴ The ratio of red paint : yellow paint = 5 : 8

∴ For every 5 cups of red paint we need 8 cups of yellow paint to

  make the orange paint

- We need to know how many yellow paint is needed to mix with

 one cup of red paint

∵     red paint        :        yellow paint

            5               :                 8

             1               :                 ?

- By using cross multiplication we can find the number of yellow cups

∴ The number of the yellow cups = \frac{1*8}{5}=\frac{8}{5}

∴ It is needed \frac{8}{5} cups of yellow paint to mix with one

  cup of red paint

Answer:

q = 177/13

Step-by-step explanation:

3q - 16q = 7 + 2(-89 – 3)

-13q = 7 + 2(-92)

-13q = 7 - 184

-13q = -177

q = (-177)/(-13)

q = 177/13
