An artist mixes yellow and blue paint to make the perfect shade of green. She uses 2 ounces of blue paint for every 7 ounces of yellow paint. Question: If the mixing container only holds 40 ounces of paint, then what is the most green paint the artist can make, and what recipe should she use?

36 ounce. Of green paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Amount of blue paint = 2 ounce

Amount of yellow paint = 7 ounce.

Paint the mixing container can hold = 40 ounce.

Solution:

Most green paints she can make. This is a ratio question

Yellow green

7 = 2

14 =. 4

21 =. 6

28 = 8 *

35 = 10

The most green paint she can make would be 28 ounce of yellow + 8 ounce of blue which would give us 36ounce of green paint. Since the container can only hold 40 ounce.
