Andrew Weber · Answer 1

24 because the ratio is 5:8 and you have to multiply 5 by 3 to get 15

so you have to do the same thing to 8 and multiply it by 3 to get 24

Chuckles · Answer 2

5 drops of red paint for 8 drops of yellow paint therefore

5*3=15 drops of red paint

8*3 = 24 drops of yellow paint

5drops of red paint for every 88drops of yellow paint. If you use 1515drops of red paint, how many drops of yellow paint would you need?
