A painter mixed 7 ounces of blue paint with every 11 ounces of yellow paint in order to make a green paint.
Which ratio of ounces of blue paint to yellow paint will make the same shade of green paint?
Responses
A 14:33
B 21:11
C 7:18
D 49:77
The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in the original mixture is 7:11. We can simplify this ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 1.
Therefore, the simplified ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 7:11.
To find the same shade of green paint, we need to maintain the same ratio.
Option A: 14:33 - This ratio can be simplified to 2:3, which is not the same as 7:11.
Option B: 21:11 - This ratio cannot be simplified any further and is not the same as 7:11.
Option C: 7:18 - This ratio cannot be simplified any further and is not the same as 7:11.
Option D: 49:77 - This ratio can be simplified to 7:11, which is the same as the original ratio.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: 49:77.
