To make a shade of paint called jasper green, mix 8 quarts of green paint with 3/4 cups of black paint.
How much green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint to make jasper green?
8 quarts = 32 cups So we have a ratio of 32 : 3/4 cups And the equal ratio of 4: x So to solve for x, divide 3/4 by 8. 3/4 divided by 8 = 3/4 •1/8 = 3/32 of a cup of green paint.
