In art class students are mixing blue and red paint to make purple paint. Omar mixes 1 cup of blue paint and 3 cups of red paint. Skylar mixes 5 cups of blue paint and 3 cups of red paint. Whose purple paint will be bluer?

Question

Answer

A Omar's purple paint will be bluer.

B Skylar's purple paint will be bluer

C The two purple paints will be equally blue.

Answer 1

A Omar's purple paint will be bluer.

This is because Omar is using a higher ratio of blue paint to red paint compared to Skylar. Since blue is the primary color that makes purple, Omar's mixture will result in a more blue-toned purple compared to Skylar's.
