a certain amount of paint is made by mixing 5 parts blue paint with 2 parts white paint.to get the correct shade,how many quarts of white paint should be mixed with 8.5 quarts of blue paint? what is the answer

Respuesta :

3.4 quarts of white

If you have 8.5 quarts of blue paint , and you want to use it all in this mixture, Then you know that 8.5 quart is the five parts of blue in this formula.

8.5 quarts divided by 5 equals 1.7 quarts  so 1.7  quarts is your base unit or one part 

1.7 quarts * 5=8.5 quarts (BLUE)

1.7 quarts *2=3.4 quarts (WHITE)

HOPE THIS HELPS (:
