Danni a mixes red and yellow paint to get orange paint. In the previous mix there were 400ml of red paint. She decreases the amount of red paint in the ratio 7 10. How much red paint must she use now?​

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of decrease in red paint = 7/10

Amount of red paint to be used now = Previous amount of red paint * Ratio of decrease

Amount of red paint to be used now = 400ml * (7/10)

Multiplying the values, we get:

Amount of red paint to be used now = 280 ml

Therefore, Danni should use 280 ml of red paint in the new mix.
