Maria, a color specialist, mixes 2 parts of white and 13 parts of red to develop a particular shade. If she creates 150 liters of the shade, what volume of white color did she use?

Respuesta :

She used 30 liters of white color.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Both colors = x

2 parts of white color = 2x

13 parts of red color = 13x

Total shade = 150 liters

According to given statement;

2x+13x=150

[tex]15x=150[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15;

[tex]\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{150}{15}\\x=20[/tex]

Volume of white color = 2(15)

Volume of white color = 30 liters

She used 30 liters of white color.
