Answer:
[tex]Blue =1\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Blue = 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Red = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Required
Determine the amount of blue paint when Red = 2
To do this, we make use of the following equivalent ratios
[tex]Ratio = Blue : Red[/tex]
When [tex]Blue = 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]Red = 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 1\frac{1}{3} : 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
When Red = 2
[tex]Ratio = Blue : 2[/tex]
Equate both ratios
[tex]Blue : 2 = 1\frac{1}{3} : 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Convert to division
[tex]\frac{Blue}{2} =1\frac{1}{3} / 1\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Convert fractions to improper fraction
[tex]\frac{Blue}{2} =\frac{4}{3} / \frac{5}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Blue}{2} =\frac{4}{3} * \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Blue}{2} =\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Make Blue the subject
[tex]Blue =\frac{4}{5}*2[/tex]
[tex]Blue =\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Blue =1\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
