Question 564113
( liters of blue paint ) / ( liters of yellow paint ) = 2/3
Let {{{ x }}} = liters of yellow paint needed
given:
He has {{{ 15 }}} liters of blue paint
------------
{{{ 15/x = 2/3 }}}
Multiply both sides by {{{ 3x }}}
{{{ 45 = 2x }}}
{{{ x = 22.5 }}}
He should buy 22.5 liters of yellow paint
He can make {{{ 15 + 22.5 = 37.5 }}} liters of green paint
