Isabelle is mixing red paint with blue paint to make purple paint. She adds 3/10 of a fluid ounce of red to 11/15 of a fluid ounce of blue to make 1 1/30fluid ounces of purple. How many fluid ounces of red paint will she need to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint?

Sagot :

Answer:

27/31

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst, construct a ratio. Isabelle needs 3/10 red to make 31/30 purple. So, we can divide red by purple to form a fraction to determine how much red paint for 1 fluid oz of purple. (3/10)/(31/30)=(9/30)/(31/30)=9/31. For every 1 oz of purple, we need 9/31 oz of red. Because we found how much red paint for 1 oz purple paint, we simply multiply by 3 to find how much red paint for 3 fluid oz of purple paint. (9/31)*3=27/31
