Answer 1

Answer:

$11\frac{7}{8}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Ethan needs $2 \frac{3}{8}$ ounces of blue paint to make 1 batch of green paint, we can multiply the amount of blue paint needed by 5 to see how much blue paint he'll need for 5 batches of green paint.

$(2 \frac{3}{8})5 = 10 \frac{15}{8} \rightarrow \boxed{11\frac{7}{8}}$

This means he will need $11\frac{7}{8}$ ounces of blue paint to make 5 batches of green paint.
