Question

To make green paint,Jeff's art teacher instructed him to mix blue and yellow paint. To make the desired shade of green, the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 3:4. What does this ratio mean?

My Answer: It means comparing part to part (comparing how much blue paint there is to yellow paint)

Can you please check my answer to see if I got it correct?

Answer 1

For every 3 parts of blue, you need 4 parts of yellow.

Answer 2

So that is how I would interpret this then.

This is my first year learning about ratios and it is kind of confusing.

Thank you for your help

Answer 3

The answer would be 4 parts blue for every 3 parts yellow
