To paint a sunset, you make a shade of orange paint using 5 drops of red paint for every 8 drops of yellow paint. if you use 15 drops of red paint, how many drops of yellow paint would you need?

1.) Turn the problem into a fraction.
- 5/8 (the number of drops of red paint/ the number of drops of red paint)

2.) multiply top and bottom by 3 because 5 drops of red paint ×3=15 drops of red paint.

The bottom number of the fraction will be your answer.

I hope this helped
