Ron is mixing paint to make the color orange. To make the correct shade of orange, Ron needs 10 ounces of red paint, 16 ounces of yellow paint, and 8 ounces of white paint.

There are
ounces of red paint for every 1 ounce of white paint.

Ron accidentally adds 20 ounces of yellow paint.

To keep the proportions the same, he will need
ounces of red paint and
8 ounces of white paint.

Enter a number like 2, 3.5, or 4.56 in each box.

Respuesta :

(5/8) / (2/5) = x / 1 

(2/5)x = 5/8 

x = (5/8) / (2/5) 

x = (5/8) * (5/2 

x = 25/16 = 1 9/16
