The amount of blue paint required = 3/2 cups
Ratio:
Comparing two or more quantities that have units is known as the Ratio. It shows the numerical relation between two quantities like how small or big a quantity is when compared to each other.
The general form of a ratio is a: b
Here we have,
2/3 cups of white paint and 2 and 2/3 cups of blue paint
Then ratio of white to blue paint = 2/3 : 2 (2/3)
= 1:2 [ divided by 2/3 ]
In the second condition, we have 3/4 cups of white paint, here we want to give the same shade then the ratio of paint must be the same as above
Let x be the amount of blue paint that we need
Then the ratio of white paint to blue = 3/4: x
From the given condition,
=> 3/4 : x = 1 : 2
=> 3/4 / x = 1/2
=> 3/4x = 1/2
=> 3(2) = 4x(1)
=> x = 6/4 =
=> 3/2
