Alexis1415:

Rylee88:
Well it sas ONE gallon of the BLUE paint..
Florisalreadytaken:
this is a simple numeric proportion -- you can even solve it by using the rule of 3, or just finding the half of \( (2:4) \), which would be the coordinates of what we're asked. this one is simpler.
Rylee88:
So its 2:4? XD
Still Need Help?

no.
\[ \frac{(2:4)}{2} = (1:2) \Rightarrow (x:y) \]
x represents the x axis: Blue paint ammount
y represents the y axis: white paint ammount
Rylee88:
Yea.
Florisalreadytaken:
\[ y \Rightarrow \text{White paint ammount}\]
look above -- whats the value of y?
Rylee88:
12?
Florisalreadytaken:
are you being serious?
\[ (1:2) \Rightarrow (x:y) \]
