Question

Sarah will mix yellow paint and red paint in the ratio 2 parts yellow to 3 parts red to create a certain shade of orange paint.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 59.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make an equation:

we know she is going to use 2 parts of yellow to 3 parts of red and she needs 10 quarts, therefore the equation would be:

2x+3x=10

x = 2

2 * 2 = 4( we need four quarts of yellow paint)

Price for yellow paint = 4 * 5.50 = 22

2 * 3 = 6(we need 6 quarts of red paint)

Price for red paint = 6 * 6.25  37.5

Add those prices: 37.5 + 22 = 59.50$
