if a paint mixture has 11 gallons of base for every gallon of color, how any gallons of color would be in 192 gallons of paint would there be?
I have 16gallons
So in 12 gallons of paint, there is one gallon of colour, and 11 gallons of base.
In 192 gallons of paint, how many gallons of colour are there?
so would i take 192/12 and 16 is the answer?
It's correct!
Thank you!!!!!
So in 12 gallons of paint, there is one gallon of colour, and 11 gallons of base.
In 192 gallons of paint, how many gallons of colour are there?
To determine the number of gallons of color in 192 gallons of paint, we need to use the given ratio of 11 gallons of base for every gallon of color.
First, we need to calculate the total number of gallons of base in the 192 gallons of paint.
Since we have 11 gallons of base for every 1 gallon of color, the ratio of base to color is 11:1. This means that for every 11 + 1 = 12 gallons of paint, there are 11 gallons of base and 1 gallon of color.
Therefore, the paint mixture consists of 11/12 of base and 1/12 of color.
To find the number of gallons of color in 192 gallons of paint, we need to calculate 1/12 of 192:
1/12 * 192 = 16
Therefore, there would be 16 gallons of color in 192 gallons of paint.
