Question

Sheila mixed 3 ounces of blue paint with 2 ounces of yellow paint. She decided to create 20 ounces of the same mixture. How many ounces of yellow paint does shelia need for the new mixture?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she mixed 3 ounces of blue paint with 2 ounces of yellow paint, you add 3 ounces to 2 ounces which is equal to 5 ounces and wants 20 ounces altogether so you divide 20 by 5 to get 4. So you need 4 times of the same 3 ounce of blue paint and 2 ounce of yellow paint. Since Sheila wants to how ,Amy ounce of yellow paint is needed, you multiply 2 ounce by 4 to get 8 ounce
