Answer:
The equation that relates the amount of yellow paint, y, and the amount of blue paint,b, in liters [tex]5y-3b=0[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that The Green Goober mixes 333 liters of yellow paint with 555 liters of blue paint to make 888 liters of special green paint for his costume.
So,
The amount of yellow paint: the amount of blue paint [tex]= 333: 555[/tex]
If the amount of yellow paint is y and the amount of blue paint is b, then, from the above relation
[tex]y: b = 333: 555\Rightarrow \frac y b = \frac {333}{555} \\\\\Rightarrow \frac y b = \frac {3}{5} \\\\\Rightarrow 5y=3b \\\\\Rightarrow 5y-3b=0.[/tex]
Hence, the equation that relates the amount of yellow paint, y, and the amount of blue paint,b, in liters [tex]5y-3b=0[/tex].
