This problem we're told that sheila mixes three ounces of blue with two ounces of yellow.
00:11
And that creation in total would be five ounces.
00:17
And it asks, or it says she decided to create 40 ounces of the same mixture.
00:21
How many ounces of yellow paint does she need? so to figure this out, if we're looking at the total, and we know that her total that she wants to make now is 20 ounces instead of 5 ounces, that's four times bigger to get to the 20 ounces.
00:33
And if that's the factor we applied to the total, then that's the factor we'd have to apply to the amount of ounces for yellow.
00:39
So we'll just multiply two ounces of yellow times four as well.
00:43
And that means that we would need eight ounces of the yellow paint for this new mixture she's trying to make 20 ounces, and just to show that this would give us the correct mixture, if we applied the times four to three ounces of blue, that would give us 12 ounces, and 12 ounces plus the 8 ounces does give us...
