Answer:

Hence, the expression that relates b and y is:

y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The Green Goober, a wildly unpopular superhero, mixes 3 liters of yellow paint with 5 liters of blue paint to make 8 liters of special green paint for his costume.

i.e. the proportion of yellow paint used = \dfrac{3}{8}

and proportion of blue paint used =  \dfrac{5}{8}.

Let 'x' be the total mixture formed.

The amount of yellow paint(y)= \dfrac{3}{8}\times x

i.e. x=\dfrac{8}{3}y

and amount of blue paint(b)= \dfrac{5}{8}\times x

i.e. x=\dfrac{8}{5}b.

Hence we can equate x from both the equation to obtain:

\dfrac{8}{3}y=\dfrac{8}{5}b\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}y=\dfrac{1}{5}b\\\\\\5y=3b\\\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Hence, equation that relates the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint (y) and blue paint (b) needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint is:

y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Let

y------> the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint

b-----> the amounts (in liters) of blue paint

we know that

\frac{y}{b}=\frac{3}{5}

so

y=\frac{3}{5}b

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=\frac{3}{5}b

A company makes two models of television.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

16/25

Step-by-step explanation:

length of screen B=44*(5/4)=55cm

and its width=32*(5/4)=40cm

so, screen B had dimensions 55cm by 40 cm

screen A area=44*32 cm sqr

screen B area=55*40 cm sqr

so, model A screen area/model B screen area

=(44*32)/(55*40)

=16/25
