Mango mixed 24 ounces of blue paint with 16 ounces of red paint to create a new purple color. In order to create 72 more ounces of this exact purple color, how many ounces of red paint would she need

28.8 ounces of red paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of paint created the first time Mango mixed colors was:

= 24 + 16

= 40 ounces of purple color

For 40 ounces of purple, 16 ounces of red was needed. Proportion is therefore:

= 16/40

If one wants 72 ounces of purple therefore:

= Proportion of red used * 72 ounces

= 16/40 * 72

= 28.8 ounces of red paint

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
