Cody and Aria are painting a mural. They decide they want part of the mural to have a purple background. Aria uses 7 tbsp. of blue to 2 tbsp. of red to make her purple paint. Cody is planning to use more and uses 21 tbsp. of blue to 6 tbsp. of red. Are their ratios of purple mixture equivalent to one another's?(1 point)

Question

B.No, Aria’s has more blue.
C.Yes, they are equivalent.

Answer 1

The ratio in Cody's mixture is 21 blue to 6 red, which can be simplified to 7 blue to 2 red. This is the same ratio as Aria's mixture, 7 blue to 2 red. Therefore, the ratios of their purple mixtures are equivalent.

The answer is C. Yes, they are equivalent.
