Q. An artist used 6 tubes of red paint, 2 tubes of yellow paint, 13 tubes of white paint, and 9 tubes of blue paint for a mural.What is the ratio of tubes of blue paint to all of the tubes of paint used?Choose 1 answer:(A) 30 for every 9(B) 30 for every 21(C) 9 for every 30(D) 21 for every 30
Finding Total Tubes of Paint: First, let's find the total number of tubes of paint used by adding the tubes of each color.6 (red) + 2 (yellow) + 13 (white) + 9 (blue) = Total tubes of paint6+2+13+9=30
Calculating Ratio of Blue Paint: Now, we need to find the ratio of tubes of blue paint to the total number of tubes of paint.We have 9 tubes of blue paint and 30 tubes in total.The ratio is 9 (blue) to 30 (total).
Simplifying the Ratio: To simplify the ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD). However, in this case, 9 and 30 do not have a common divisor other than 1, so the ratio is already in its simplest form.The ratio is 9:30.
