Jenny is making tie dyed shirts for her class with her school colors, blue and yellow she used a total of 8 ounces of fabric paint the amount of blue paint is 3 times the amount of yellow make a diagram to show the ratio of blue to yellow paint

The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount of blue paint in ounces

y ----> the amount of yellow paint in ounces

we know that

x+y=8 -----> equation A

x=3y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

3y + y = 8

4y = 8

y = 2

Find the value of x

x = 3(2) = 6

therefore

The amount of blue paint is 6 ounces and the amount of yellow paint is 2 ounces

Find the ratio

To find out the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint, divide the amount of blue paint by the amount of yellow paint

x/y = 6/2 = 3/1

That means -----> Of every 4 parts of paint, three parts are blue and one part is yellow.
