Answer:
2.625 cups or 21 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Ava needs 3/4 cup of blue paint for every 1 cup of white paint. So, the ratio is 0.75 : 1.
She has 28 ounces of white paint. But, you have to convert ounces to cups.
1 cup = 8 ounces
28 ounces ÷ 8 ounces/cup = 3.5 cups
Now set up a ratio.
X (how much blue paint is needed) is over 3.5 cups (the amount of white paint she has)
Cross multiply and divide.
x = 0.75 × 3.5
x = 2.625 cups
To convert to ounces, multiply by 8.
2.625 cups × 8 ounces = 21 ounces
Therefore, Ava needs 2.625 cups or 21 ounces of blue paint.
Hope that helps.
