Question

A can of paint is created by mixing 8oz of blue paint and 6 oz of red paint. If someone uses 24 oz of blue paint, then how many ounces of red paint must be added to create the correct color?

Answer 1

There is a ratio of 8 blue: 6 red.
You multiply both of these by 3 (because 8•3 is 24) and you get 18 oz of red paint.

8b:6r
•3:•3
24b:18r

Answer 2

8*3=24 so you must multiply 6 by 3 to get 18.
