You will need 8 cups of yellow paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between the cup of yellow paint to the cup of blue paint to

make a certain shade of green is 2/3 : 3/4

That means to make a certain the shade of green you must mix 2/3 cup

of yellow paint and 3/4 cup of blue paint

need to make 17 cups of a green paint

∵    yellow paint    :    blue paint    :    green paint

         2/3               :        3/4            :     2/3 + 3/4

∵

∴ The ratio between the three colors is

∵ The number of green cups is 17

∴ = yellow : blue : 17

By using cross multiplication between yellow paint and green paint

∴ * yellow cups

Divide both sides by

∴ yellow cups =

∴ You will need 8 cups of yellow paint
