The volume of white color used by Maria is 20 liter
Solution:
Maria, a color specialist, mixes 2 parts of white and 13 parts of red to develop a particular shade
She creates 150 liters of the shade
Given ratio is:
2 parts of white and 13 parts of red
white : red = 2 : 13
Let the white mixed be 2x
Let the red mixed be 13x
Total shade = 150 liters
Therefore,
2x + 13x = 150
15x = 150
x = 10
Therefore, volume of white color used = 2x = 2(10) = 20
Thus, volume of white color used by Maria is 20 liter
