Question

a specific shade of orange paint calls for 2 parts yellow and 3 parts red. catie uses 3 cups of yellow paint and 4 cups of red paint to make orange paint. the proportional relationships select choice equivalent because select choice

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of yellow - to - red in the original recipe

The original recipe calls for 2 parts yellow and 3 parts red, so the ratio of yellow to red is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Step2: Find the ratio of yellow - to - red in Catie's mixture

Catie uses 3 cups of yellow and 4 cups of red, so the ratio of yellow to red is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Step3: Compare the two ratios

Since $\frac{2}{3}
eq\frac{3}{4}$, the proportional relationships are not equivalent.

Answer:

The proportional relationships are not equivalent because the ratio of yellow to red in the original recipe ($\frac{2}{3}$) is not equal to the ratio of yellow to red in Catie's mixture ($\frac{3}{4}$).
