Q. An artist used 66 tubes of red paint, 22 tubes of yellow paint, 1313 tubes of white paint, and 99 tubes of blue paint for a mural.\newlineWhat is the ratio of tubes of blue paint to all of the tubes of paint used?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 3030 for every 99\newline(B) 3030 for every 2121\newline(C) 99 for every 3030\newline(D) 2121 for every 3030
  1. Finding Total Tubes of Paint: First, let's find the total number of tubes of paint used by adding the tubes of each color.\newline66 (red) + 22 (yellow) + 1313 (white) + 99 (blue) = Total tubes of paint\newline6+2+13+9=306 + 2 + 13 + 9 = 30
  2. 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.\newlineWe have 99 tubes of blue paint and 3030 tubes in total.\newlineThe ratio is 99 (blue) to 3030 (total).
  3. Simplifying the Ratio: To simplify the ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD). However, in this case, 99 and 3030 do not have a common divisor other than 11, so the ratio is already in its simplest form.\newlineThe ratio is 9:309:30.
