Question

The recipe for Perfect Purple Water says, "Mix 8 ml of blue water with 3 ml of red water." Jada mixes 24 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water. Andre mixes 16 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water. Which person will get a color mixture that is the same shade as Perfect Purple Water? Jada Andre

Answer 1

Answer:Jada will get same shade as Perfect Purple Water

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

To get the right  recipe for Perfect purple water, every new mixture must have an equivalent ratio as the ideal mixture

The ideal mixture is given as

8ml  blue water and 3 ml red water.

Step 2

Andre mixes 16ml blue water with 9ml red water

$\frac{8ml}{3ml}$ is not equivalent to $\frac{16ml}{9ml}$

Because dividing Andre's mixture  by a common value  will  not give  the equivalent ratio of the ideal recipe

$\frac{16ml}{9ml}$  $\frac{/}{/}$  $\frac{3}{3}$ =$\frac{5.3ml}{3ml}$  

Jada mixes 24ml blue water with 9ml red water

$\frac{8ml}{3ml}$ is equivalent to $\frac{24ml}{9ml}$

Because dividing Jada's mixture  by a common value  gives the equivalent ratio of the ideal recipe

$\frac{24ml}{9ml}$  $\frac{/}{/}$  $\frac{3}{3}$ =$\frac{8ml}{3ml}$  

This shows that Jada got the right recipe and will get  same shade as Perfect Purple Water but in a higher quantity, 3 times the right recipe for  Perfect Purple Water
