If the paint is 30% yellow, and you used 72 ounces of yellow, all you have to do is divide 72 by 30% to get the whole amount of ounces of paint made.
72 ÷ 0.30 = 240
In the last batch, you made 240 ounces of melon madness paint.
I believe the answer would be 6:5 because you divide both 18 and 15 by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let R and B be the number of red and blue marbles respectively.
Then,
R+B = 36
R:B = 5:4
Therefore,
Ratio of red marbles = 5/9
Ratio of blue marbles = 4/9
This means,
R = 5/9*36 = 20 marbles
B = 4/9*36 = 16 marbles
If one blue marble is removed from the bag, the new B= 16-1 = 15 blue marbles and the new total of marbles in the bag = 36-1 = 35 marbles.
The new ratios are
R = 20/35 =4/7
B = 15/35 = 3/7
That is, R:B = 4:3
The reasoning of the student is wrong. When a marble is removed, both the number of blue marbles changes as well as the total of the marbles in the bag. In other words, both the values in the ratio reduce by 1.
