Answer:

24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial mixture contains 8 teaspoons of red paint and 12 teaspoons of blue paint, this mixture contains a total of 20 units of paint, of which 8 are red, that is, 8 out of 20. Therefore, the proportion of red paint is 40%, while the proportion of blue paint is 60% remaining.

Therefore, in the case of making the same mixture (with the same proportion) using 36 teaspoons of blue paint, the necessary amount of red paint is determined through the following calculation:

60 = 36

40 = X

((40 x 36) / 60) = X

1,440 = 60 = X

24 = X

Thus, 24 teaspoons of red paint would be needed.

Hey there!

I'm thinking B because it just makes the most sense reading it aloud. Quick tip though when there's a question like this just read the paragraph or sentences with all the possibilities in the blanks and you can kind of just tell which one it is by the way it sounds, you know?

Hope I helped, lemme know if I'm correct please! Have a spectacular day!

A line that is parallel to another has exactly the same slope as the other.

so a parallel line to that line above, will have the same slope hmmm what is the slope of <span>y=3/4x+2 anyway?

well, notice, since it's already in slope-intercept form   </span>\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{3}{4}}x~~\stackrel{y-intercept}{+2}
