Perfect Purple Water The recipe for Perfect Purple Water says, "Mix 8 ml of blue water with 3 ml of red water." lada mixes 24 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water. Andre mixes 16 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water. . Which person will get a color mixture that is the same shade as Perfect Purple Water? Explain or show your reasoning.

Analysing the question:

We are given that the ratio between the blue and red color is 8 : 3

as long as the volumes of the colours added simplify to 8 : 3 , the color will be Perfect Purple

Lada's Solution:

Lada mixed 24 mL of blue water with 9 mL of red water

we will try to simplify this ratio:

24:9 = 24 / 9

8 / 3

8 : 3

Hence, the ratio of the colours in Lada's mixture is correct. So, Lada will get perfect purple water

Andre's Solution:

Andre mixed 16mL of Blue water with 9 mL of red water

we will try to simplify this ratio:

16 : 9 = 16 / 9

THIS RATIO CANNOT BE SIMPLIFIED

Hence, the ratio of blue and red color in Andre's mixture is 16 : 9

but the ratio for a perfect purple color is 8 : 3

Since the ratio in Andre's mixture is incorrect, she will NOT get the perfect purple colour

Lada will get a color mixture that is the same shade as Perfect Purple Water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

The mix for Perfect Purple Water contains 8 ml of blue water with 3 ml of red water.

The exact proportion of both ingredients is, blue to red:

Lada mixes 24 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water. The proportion is:

Simplifying by 3:

The proportion obtained by Lada is the same shade as Perfect Purple Water.

Andre mixes 16 ml of blue water with 9 ml of red water, his proportion is:

This fraction cannot be reduced and its result is not exactly the same as the perfect required proportion.

Thus, Lada will get a color mixture that is the same shade as Perfect Purple Water.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
