To make purple plum paint, the paint store mixes blue and red paint in a ration of 8:5 if a customer needs 65 gallon of paint how many gallons blue and red paint needs to go in the mix

Sagot :

Answer:

Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons

Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the ratio:

Blue paint : Red paint =

8 : 5

Sum of proportion = 8 + 5 = 13

If the customer need 65 gallons of paint,

a) Number of gallons of blue paint needed =

8/13 × 65 gallons = 40 gallons

b) Number of gallons of red paint needed =

5/13 × 65 gallons = 25 gallons

Therefore:

Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons

Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons
