Question

Use the tape diagram to find the ratio.

Mr. Morris' art class used blue paint and purple paint for a school mural. Find the part-to-part ratio of purple paint to blue paint. Write the ratio in simplest form, using a colon and no spaces.

Answer 1

So, In Mr. Morris' class, the students used blue and purple paint for a school mural.
I did this question in Odysseyware in 6th grade.
Anyways, the part-to-part ratio is 5:6
(Remember, part-to-part and part-to-whole ratios aren't the same)
Since we can't simplify 5:6, the final answer is 5:6. In other problems, you may need to simplify if needed.

Hope this helped!
