You are decorating your bedroom. To get the paint colour you want, you mix 2 parts red with 1 parts cream and 3 part blue. How much blue paint will you need to mix with 4 litres of red?. Single line text.

Answer:

6 litres of blue color should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the paint color as per my wish, paint of different colors are mixed in the ratio = Red : Cream : Blue

              = 2 : 1 : 3

In this mixture, ratio of red and blue color = 3 : 2

This ratio will be constant for any amount of mixture.

Therefore, [tex]\frac{\text{Amount of Blue color}}{\text{Amount of red color}}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{b}{4}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

b = [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 4[/tex]

b = 6 litres

Therefore, 6 litres of blue color should be mixed with the 4 litres of red color.
