C 11:19
D 7:18
To find the ratio of yellow paint to blue paint that will make the same shade of green paint, we need to determine the ratio of yellow paint to blue paint in the original mixture.
The original mixture consists of 11 ounces of yellow paint with every 9 ounces of blue paint.
To simplify this ratio, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 11 and 9, which is 1.
Dividing both 11 and 9 by 1, we get the simplified ratio of 11:9.
Therefore, the correct ratio of yellow paint to blue paint that will make the same shade of green paint is 11:9.
None of the given answer choices match this ratio, so the correct answer is not among the options provided.
