SOLUTION: A certain shade of green is formed by mixing 3 parts blue to 2 parts yellow. How many ounces of yellow are needed to make 37 ounces of this green?

As the condition says, there are 3 + 2 = 5 equal volumic parts in 37 fluid ounces.



So, divide 37 by 5 to get the volume of one single part, and then multiply the volume of this part by 2


to get the volume of the yellow fraction.


ANSWER.   ounces = 7.4*2 ounces = 14.8 ounces.
