Question

How many tablespoons of blue paint should Elena mix with 6 cups of white paint and blue paint? How many batches would this make?

Answer 1

According to the given graph, 2 cups of white paint are in the same ratio as 6 tablespoons of blue paint.

So, if she has 6 cups of white paint, we just have to multiply the number of tablespoons by 3.

$6\times3=18$

So, Elena needs 18 tablespoons of blue paint.

Additionally, this would make three batches because the given ratio is being multiplied by 3.
