How much blue and yellow paint should a store mix to make 98 gallons of glowing green paint if the ratio is 3:4

Answer 1

42 gallons blue and 56 gallons yellow. (Set up your equation as 3x + 4x = 98. This simplifies to 98 = 7x, so divide 98 by 7 = 14. Then, 14 x 3 = 42 for the 3 part of the ratio. 14 x 4 = 56 for the 4 part of the ratio.)
