I haven't figured this one out either. I have it on edmentum and tbh, I hate it. Oh well, good luck to the both of us.

I need help with work
so like whats the answer
I have this on Edmentum and i have no clue
To find out how many fluid ounces of red paint Isabelle will need to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint, we first need to calculate the ratio of red to blue that she used to make the original mixture.
Given that she added 2/5 (or 0.4) fluid ounces of red paint to 3/5 (or 0.6) fluid ounces of blue paint to make 1 fluid ounce of purple paint, we can set up a proportionate equation:
(red fluid ounces) / (blue fluid ounces) = (purple fluid ounces) / (desired fluid ounces)
(0.4) / (0.6) = 1 / 3
Now, let's solve for the unknown value, which is the fluid ounces of red paint needed for 3 fluid ounces of purple paint.
(0.4) / (0.6) = (x) / (3)
Cross-multiplying the equation:
0.6x = 3 * 0.4
0.6x = 1.2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.6:
x = 1.2 / 0.6
x ≈ 2
Therefore, Isabelle will need approximately 2 fluid ounces of red paint to make 3 fluid ounces of purple paint.
