Gina's art teacher mixes 9 pints of yellow paint with 6 pints of blue paint to create green paint. Gina mixes 4 pints of yellow paint with 3 pints of blue paint. Did Gina use the same ratio of yellow paint to blue paint instructed by her teacher? Explain. Is it 9/6 to 4/3. Is that correct
clearly 9:6 ≠ 4:3
Gina's art teacher mixed 9 pints of red paint and 6 pints of white paint to make pink. Gina's mixed 4 pints of red paint with 3 pints of white paint to make pink. Did Gina's use the same ratio of red paint to white paint as her teacher?
I do not get it
To determine if Gina used the same ratio of yellow paint to blue paint as instructed by her teacher, we need to compare the ratios of the two mixtures.
Gina's teacher mixed 9 pints of yellow paint with 6 pints of blue paint, which gives a ratio of 9:6 (or simplified, 3:2).
Gina, on the other hand, mixed 4 pints of yellow paint with 3 pints of blue paint, which gives a ratio of 4:3.
To compare the ratios, we can simplify both ratios:
For the teacher's mixture: 3:2
For Gina's mixture: 4:3
As we can see, the ratios are not the same. Gina's ratio of yellow paint to blue paint is different from the ratio instructed by her teacher. Therefore, Gina did not use the same ratio as her teacher.
