Ms Rojas used 6 drops of blue tint to create 24 ounces of a special paint color. She loved the color so much that she created a larger amount containing 288 ounces so she could sell it at the farmers market. How many drops of blue tint did she need for the larger amount?
Question
Since she created a lot of drop it’s 72
Therefore, every drop of blue tint is equivalent to 24 : 6 = 4 ounces.
Since she created 288 ounces, the number of drops she used was : 288 : 4 = 72 (drops)
