Question

TO get a certain shade of green paint, Melissa decides to mix 3 gallons of blue paint with 2 gallons of yellow paint. How much blue paint does Melissa need for each gallon of yellow paint? TIA for your help.

Answer 1

You have a fraction of 3/2. 3/2=1.5
Therefore, she needs 1.5 gallons of blue paint per 1 gallon of yellow paint.
