Question

DaDanielle wants to paint her daughter’s room pink. She has been told two different plans:
•    Plan A: Use 5 parts white and 2 parts red
•    Plan B: Use 4 parts white and 1 part red
Which plan will give her paint that is the least red? Explain what the
numbers in your calculations mean.
 

Answer 1

Plan B will have less red. 

Plan A: the ratio of white to red would be 2.5 to 1

Plan B: the ration of white to red would be 4 to 1 

That means there is more white in plan B, therefore less red
