Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{12}{35}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

→ For Purple People Eater, she used 3 pints of red paint for every 5 pints of blue paint.

i.e, The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 3:5

→ For Purple Majesty, she used a blue to red paint ratio of 7 to 4.

i.e, The ratio of red paint to blue paint is 4:7

To find :

1) Compare the ratios of red paint to blue paint.

$\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{4}{7}=\frac{12}{35}$

2) The ratio for Purple People Eater can be expressed in fraction form as :

$=\frac{3}{5}$

3) The ratio for Purple Majesty can be expressed in fraction form as :

$=\frac{7}{4}$

4) To compare these fractions, rewrite them with a common denominator

For common denominator

Multiply numerator and denominator by 4 in $\frac{3}{5}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{3\times 4}{5\times4}=\frac{12}{20}$

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5 in $\frac{7}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{7\times 5}{5\times4}=\frac{35}{20}$

Common denominator is 20
