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

Find the common ratio and the next term for the sequence shown. Express your answers as fractions or as decimals.
Cerrena [4.2K]
The common ratio of the sequence is calculated by dividing the second term by the first term or dividing the third term by the second term. That is,
                               r = 250 / 333 = 0.75
or                            r = 187 / 250 = 0.748 = 0.75
To get the next term, we multiply 187 by 0.75 giving us an answer of 140.25 or 141.

Josiah, the manager of a pet store, bought 72 oz of water conditioner to use in his fish tanks. His small tanks would require 2
kodGreya [7K]
If we are going to analyze the problem very well, the equation that we will be able to make would be: 2x + 6y = 72

72 is the oz of water conditioner to use in his fish tanks.

small tanks would require 2 oz of conditioner

 large tanks would require 6 oz of conditioner

There is only one point which satisfy's the above equation.That is the points of (0, 12) and (36, 0)
