Answer:

The answer is " red cups is "5.25""

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

red paint= 3\frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2} =3.5

yellow paint= 4\frac{1}{2}= \frac{9}{2} =4.5

total cups=12        

i) The Ratio of red and yellow  is= 3.5 : 4.5

If the red cups are= \frac{3.5}{8}

number of red cups:

\to \frac{3.5}{8}\times 12\\\\\to \frac{3.5}{2}\times 3\\\\\to 3.5\times 1.5\\\\\to 5.25

ii)

\to 3.5x+4.5x=12......(a)\\\\\to 8x=12\\\to x=\frac{12}{8}\\\\\to x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\

put the value of x in equation (a):

\to 3.5 \times \frac{3}{2}+4.5\times  \frac{3}{2}=12\\\\\to 35 \times \frac{3}{20}+45\times  \frac{3}{20}=12\\\\\to 5.25+6.75=12

iii)

if \frac{4.5}{8} \times 12= 6.75 yellow cups used in making orange paint

so, red paint +yellow paint = total cups

let, red paint cups =x

⇒x+6.75=12

⇒x=12-6.75

⇒x=5.25

The value of red cups is 5.25.
