To find the amount of yellow paint needed, we need to find 3 parts of the total parts, which is 4, that represents the yellow paint.
Since there are 4 parts in total, and we need to find 3 parts of yellow, we can set up the equation:
3 parts / 4 parts = x gallons / 8 gallons
Cross multiplying, we get:
3 parts * 8 gallons = 4 parts * x gallons
24 gallons = 4x gallons
Dividing by 4, we get:
x = 6 gallons
Therefore, Nate needs to buy 6 gallons of yellow paint.
Nate is helping to redesign his basement. He is in charge of choosing and buying the paint. He wants a specific shade of green, so he is going to combine blue and yellow paint in the ratio of 1:3 . If he needs 8 gallons of paint, how much yellow paint does he need to buy?

For every 7 shots on goal, Ruthie scores twice. To determine the number of shots she took, we need to find the corresponding total number of sets of 7 shots.
If she scores 8 times, we can set up the following equation:
Total sets of 7 shots / 2 = 8 times she scores
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
Total sets of 7 shots = 8 times she scores * 2
Total sets of 7 shots = 16
Therefore, Ruthie took a total of 16 sets of 7 shots, which is equal to 16 * 7 = 112 shots on goal.
The correct response is:
112 shots
If she scores 8 times, we can set up the following equation:
Total sets of 7 shots / 2 = 8 times she scores
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
Total sets of 7 shots = 8 times she scores * 2
Total sets of 7 shots = 16
Therefore, Ruthie took a total of 16 sets of 7 shots, which is equal to 16 * 7 = 112 shots on goal.
The correct response is:
112 shots
112 is wrong!
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's try solving the problem again.
For every 7 shots she takes on goal, Ruthie scores twice. If she scores 8 times, we can set up the equation:
(Number of shots / 7) = 8
To find the number of shots she took, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
Number of shots = 8 * 7
Number of shots = 56
Therefore, Ruthie took a total of 56 shots on goal.
The correct response is:
56 shots
For every 7 shots she takes on goal, Ruthie scores twice. If she scores 8 times, we can set up the equation:
(Number of shots / 7) = 8
To find the number of shots she took, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
Number of shots = 8 * 7
Number of shots = 56
Therefore, Ruthie took a total of 56 shots on goal.
The correct response is:
56 shots

To find the number of kids waiting in line, we need to determine the ratio of kids to the total number of people waiting in line.
The ratio of adults to kids waiting in line is given as 5:6.
The total ratio is 5+6=11.
To find the number of kids waiting in line, we calculate:
(6/11) * 132 = 72
Therefore, there are 72 kids waiting in line.
The correct response is:
72 kids

To find the number of sausages Edgar needs, we need to determine the ratio of sausages to eggs.
The ratio of eggs to sausages is given as 3:2.
Since Edgar is using 12 eggs, we can set up the following equation:
3/2 = 12/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3x = 2 * 12
3x = 24
Dividing by 3, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, Edgar needs 8 sausages for the egg casserole.
The correct response is:
8 sausages
The ratio of eggs to sausages is given as 3:2.
