Henry needs 2 pints of red paint and 3 pints or yellow paint to get a specific shade or orange. If he uses 9 pints of yellow paint and wants the same orange color, how many punts of paint will he need together?
Explain how you know

Respuesta :

There will be 15 pints needed.

Let the total pints of red needed be x.

Based on the information given, this can be used in forming an equation as:

2/3 = x/9

Cross multiply

(2 × 9) = (3 × x)

18 = 3x

x = 18/3

x = 6

Therefore, 6 pints of red paint are needed.

Therefore, the total pints needed altogether will be:

= 6 red + 9 yellow

= 15 paints.

In conclusion, 15 pints will be needed.
