A: No, Aira's has more blue

B: No, Cody's has more blue

C: No, Cody's Has More Red

D: Yes, they are equivalent

Answer 1

Are you sure?

Answer 2

To determine if the ratios of purple mixture are equivalent, we need to compare the amounts of blue and red used by both Aria and Cody.

Aria used 7 tbsp of blue and 2 tbsp of red, so the ratio of blue to red in Aria's purple mixture is 7:2.

Cody used 21 tbsp of blue and 6 tbsp of red, so the ratio of blue to red in Cody's purple mixture is 21:6, which can be further simplified to 7:2.

Therefore, the ratios of purple mixture used by Aria and Cody are equivalent. Thus, the answer is D: Yes, they are equivalent.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's calculate the ratios correctly this time.

Aria used 7 tbsp of blue and 2 tbsp of red, so the ratio of blue to red in Aria's purple mixture is 7:2.

Cody used 21 tbsp of blue and 6 tbsp of red, so the ratio of blue to red in Cody's purple mixture is 21:6, which can be simplified to 7:2 as well.

Since both ratios are the same, the answer is indeed D: Yes, they are equivalent.
