Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint
Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:
2:5
Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.
2:200
Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing
200 divide 5 = 40
Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:
80:200
We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:
Simplify 80 / 200
We get 2 / 5.

Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The desired ratio is ...
(part-time)/(total) = (part-time)/((part-time) +(full-time)) = 12/(12+18)
= 12/30 = 2/5
The ratio of part-time workers to total workers is 2 : 5.
Answer:
Kay sold 67; Allen sold 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" represent the number of phones that Allen sold.
a + (a+17) = 117 . . . equation used to find the answer
2a = 100 . . . . . . . . subtract 17, collect terms
a = 50 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; the number Allen sold
a+17 = 67 . . . . . . . . Kay sold 17 more than Allen
