Answer:
No, Shannon mix the incorrect shade.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
A particular shade of paint is made by mixing 5 parts red paint with 7 parts blue.
This can be written as:
\(\frac{Red}{Blue}=\frac{5}{7}\)
To make this shade,Shannon mixed 12 quarts of blue paint with 8 quarts of red paint.
Now, rewrite the above information as shown.
\(\frac{Red}{Blue}=\frac{8}{12}\)
Simplify the above expression.
\(\frac{Red}{Blue}=\frac{2}{3}\)
Here,
\(\frac{5}{7}
eq \frac{2}{3}\)
No, they are not equal to each other when we find the common denominator,
\(\frac{60}{84}
eq \frac{56}{84}\)
No, Shannon mix the incorrect shade.
