Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Kaylee used the amount of green paint in the mixture = x ounces

and the amount of white paint = y ounces

Total amount of mixture = 50 ounces

Equation will be x + y = 50 ------(1)

Ratio of green paint to the white paint in the mixture = 5 : 3

⇒  x : y = 5 : 3

⇒ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}$

⇒ x = $\frac{5}{3}y$ ---------(2)

Therefore, By solving these two equations by substitution method we can get the amount of green and white paint used in the mixture.
