To find the ratios equivalent to 6 : 7, we can scale the ratio by multiplying both parts by the same number. In your case, the ratio 6 : 7 means for every 6 drops of red, there are 7 drops of yellow.
Here’s how to calculate the drops of yellow paint for each entry in the table:
1. For 12 drops of red:
[text{Yellow} = left(frac{7}{6}right) times 12 = 14]
2. For 18 drops of red:
[text{Yellow} = left(frac{7}{6}right) times 18 = 21]
3. For 24 drops of red:
[text{Yellow} = left(frac{7}{6}right) times 24 = 28]
Now, let’s complete the table:
– Drops of red: 6, 12, 18, 24
– Drops of yellow: 7, 14, 21, 28
This shows the corresponding drops of yellow paint for each amount of red, maintaining the ratio of 6 : 7. Great job working on this problem! If you need any further assistance, feel free to check our extended services page.
