To make green paint,Jeff's art teacher instructed him to mix blue and yellow paint. To make the desired shade of green, the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 3:4. What does this ratio mean?

Question

My Answer: It means comparing part to part (comparing how much blue paint there is to yellow paint)

Can you please check my answer to see if I got it correct?

Answer 1

For every 3 parts of blue, you need 4 parts of yellow.

Answer 2

So that is how I would interpret this then.

This is my first year learning about ratios and it is kind of confusing.

Thank you for your help

Answer 3

The answer would be 4 parts blue for every 3 parts yellow
