Answer:
The equation can be y = 3b/5 or b = 5y/3
Correct statement and question:
The Green Goober, a wildly unpopular superhero, mixes 3 liters of yellow paint with 5 liters of blue paint to make 8 liters of special green paint for his costume. Â
Write an equation that relates the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint (y) and blue paint (b) needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let y to be the amount of liters of yellow paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
Let b to be the amount of liters of blue paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
We know that:
y:b = 3:5
Therefore,
5y = 3b, dividing by 5 at both sides we have:
y = 3b/5
And also dividing by 3 at both sides we have:
b = 5y/3
Both equations relate the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint and blue paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
