Formula: $\"2%2F15\"$ $\"ozDye%2FozBasePaint\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mixture: $\"z%2F120\"$ $\"ozDye%2FozBasePaint\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "PROPORTION: $\"2%2F15=z%2F120\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"120%282%2F15%29=120%28z%2F120%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"120%2A2%2F15=%28120%2F120%29z\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"120%2A2%2F15=1%2Az\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2A4%2A2%2A5%2A2%29%2F%283%2A5%29=z\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"z=16\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "z=16 ounces of dye to use in the 120 ounce of base. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
