Question

A factory makes orange paint by mixing red and yellow paint in the ratio of 7:2 . The factory makes2700 litres of paint everyday . How many litres of yellow and red paint did the company use daily.

Answer 1

Answer:

red = 2100 liters

yellow = 600 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the constant of ratio be 'x'

then the numbers are - 7x and 2x

ATQ,

7x+2x = 2700 liters

9x = 2700 liters

x = 2700/9

x= 300 liters

Now, that we have the constant we would multiply it by the numerical values to get the answer.

therefore, red paint = 7x = 7*300 = 2100 liters

yellow paint = 2x = 2*300 = 600 liters

hope this helps
