Jenny is making tie-dyed shirts for her class with her school colors, blue and yellow.
she used a total of 8 ounces of fabric paint. the amount of blue paint is 3 times the
amount of yellow paint.
make a diagram to show the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint.
fabric paint
total

The ratio of blue paint to yellow paint is 3:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount of blue paint in ounces

y ----> the amount of yellow paint in ounces

we know that

x+y=8 -----> equation A

x=3y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

Find the value of x

therefore

The amount of blue paint is 6 ounces and the amount of yellow paint is 2 ounces

Find the ratio

To find out the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint, divide the amount of blue paint by the amount of yellow paint

so

That means -----> Of every 4 parts of paint, three parts are blue and one part is yellow.

see the diagram in the attached figure to better understand the problem
