  1. Extending Mixing Colours I am learning to solve difficult ratio problems. Do not start this lesson unless you have an excellent understanding of Mixing colours.

  2. The tables below show different mixtures for making green paint. green is made from mixing blue and yellow. The greater the proportion of blue, the darker the green. To work out which mixture is lightest we can convert the ratios into percentages. In Mixture ‘A’ 2 parts are blue out of the 5 parts (2 + 3 = 5) We know from earlier lessons that is the same as or 40%. As a fraction that is = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 = 40% We can also work out the percentage by…

  3. Now let’s work out the percentage for Mixture ‘B’. In Mixture ‘B’ 3 parts are blue out of the 9 parts (3 + 6 = 9) This is the same as or 33.3%. As a fraction that is = 33.3% = 3 ÷ 9 = 0.333 We can also work out the percentage by…

  4. Now let’s work out the percentage for Mixture ‘C’. In Mixture ‘C’ 10 parts are blue out of the 25 parts (10 + 15 = 25) This is the same as or 40%. As a fraction that is = 40% = 10 ÷ 25 = 0.4 We can also work out the percentage by…

  5. It’s easy to see now that Mixture ‘B’ would make the lightest green as it has the smallest percentage of blue.

  6. Now let’s complete the percentages row for the table below. Again, we want to find out which mix will make the lightest green. 35 40 32 7 + 13 = 20 4 + 6 = 10 8 + 17 = 25 8 ÷ 25 = 0.32 4 ÷ 10 = 0.4 7 ÷ 20 = 0.35 2) Express the amount of blue as a fraction. 1) Find the total number of parts. 3) Convert this fraction to a decimal and then a percentage.

  7. Now try these questions on your own. Complete the percentages row of the table below so that you can find the mix that will make the darkest green. You may use a calculator to help you with the division. Click again when you have worked out all the percentages. 20 40 25 Which mixture will make the darkest green?
