Question

To make 1 batch of green paint, Jessie mixes 2 3/8 oz. of blue paint and the same amount of yellow paint. How many oz. of blue paint is needed to make 5 batches of green paint?

Answer 1

To make 1 batch of green paint, Jessie uses 2 3/8 oz. of blue paint. To make 5 batches of green paint, she will need 5 times the amount of blue paint used for 1 batch.

2 3/8 oz. * 5 = 11 7/8 oz.

Therefore, Jessie will need 11 7/8 oz. of blue paint to make 5 batches of green paint.
