The required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.
Given that,
The ratio of yellow and blue colors is 2:3
The proportion of the yellow color is 12 liters.
The proportion of blue color is to be determined.
<h3>What is the Ratio?</h3>
The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.
Let the proportion of the blue color is x,
Now, the ratio can be given as
12 / x = 2 / 3
x = 12 * 3 / 2
x = 18
Thus, the required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.

A hamburger costs $2.5 and a milkshake costs $1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Form equations from the given details. Let cost of 1 hamburger be H and cost of 1 milkshake be M.
4H + 2M = 13.50 ------ (1)
& 3H + 1M = 9.25 ------ (2)
- Step 2: Multiply eq(2) with 2 to make coefficients of M equal.
6H + 2M = 18.50 ------- (3)
- Step 3: Subtract eq(3) from eq(1)
⇒ - 2H = - 5
⇒ H = $2.5
- Step 4: Substitute value of H in eq(2) to find M.
⇒ 3 × 2.5 + M = 9.25
⇒ 7.5 + M = 9.25
⇒ M = $1.75

Answer: The fraction 2/5</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
We have three points marked on this diagonal line. Each point has integer or whole number coordinates. I find it is easiest to start with the y intercept, which in this case, is the point (0,0). This is the origin.
From the origin, move 2 units up and 5 units to the right to arrive at the next neighboring point (5,2).
This shows that,
slope = rise/run = 2/5
The rise indicates how much we have gone up or down. The run is the amount you move to the right. If the rise is negative, then you have gone downhill. By "downhill", I mean when the graph is read from left to right.
-------
Optionally you can use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
with any two points you want from the graph.
