CORRECT QUESTION

Finley makes 1 batch of her favorite shade of orange paint by mixing 5 liters of yellow paint with 3 liters of red paint. How many batches of orange paint can Finley make if she has 15 liters of red paint?

ANSWER

The Number Of Orange Paint Is 4 Batches

GIVEN

1 batch of Orange paint = 5 litres of yellow paint + 3 liters of Red paint.

TO FIND

Number of batches of orange paint with 15 litres of red paint.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows-

It is given,

1 batch of orange paint = 5L of yellow paint + 3L of red paint.

So,

The ratio of yellow paint to red paint in 1 batch of orange paint = 5:3

That means, in every batch of orange paint the ratio of yellow and orange paint will be 5:3.

Let x be the constant ratio.

So,

Ratio of yellow to red = 5x:3x

So,

Number of orange paint

3x = 12

x = 12÷3 = 4.

Hence, the number of orange paint is 4 batches
