To make green paint, Tyler mixes 14 ounces of yellow paint with 10 ounces of blue paint.How many ounces of yellow paint are there per ounce of blue paint?
14/10 = x/1
10x = 14
x = 1.4 ounces
To find out how many ounces of yellow paint there are per ounce of blue paint, you need to divide the total amount of yellow paint by the total amount of blue paint.
In this case, Tyler mixed 14 ounces of yellow paint with 10 ounces of blue paint. So the ratio of yellow to blue paint can be calculated as follows:
Yellow paint per ounce of blue paint = Total yellow paint / Total blue paint
Total yellow paint = 14 ounces
Total blue paint = 10 ounces
Yellow paint per ounce of blue paint = 14 / 10
By dividing 14 by 10, you find that there are 1.4 ounces of yellow paint per ounce of blue paint.
