Answer:
24 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in a green paint mixture is 2:3.
Actual ounces used for blue paint = 16
By ratio and proportion property we have
2:3 = 16:x where x is the actual ounces of yellow paint used.
Simplify using ratio rules
if a:b = c:d then ad = bc
We get
2x=3(16) = 48
Divide by 2
x = 24
Hence 24 ounces of yellow paint to be used.
