7 + 4 = 11 pints
You could use a proportion.
7/11 = x/44
Cross multiply and solve for x.
11x = 308
x = 28 pints of blue paint
Do the same for the yellow paint.
7 pints of blue paint mix with 4 pints of yellow paint.
If you want to use a total of 44 pints, how many pints of blue paint and yellow paint will you have?
