Ben is making pink paint by mixing paint in the ratio of 5 parts red paint to 2 parts white paint. If Ben wants to make 35 cans of the mixture and all cans hold the same volume of paint, how many cans of red paint will he need? RED PAINT NOT WHITE PAINT

25 cans of red paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of red paint to white paint is 5:2, we know that 5/7 of the mixture is red paint, because there are 5+2 = 7 parts, and 5 of the parts are red. Therefore, Ben needs 5/7 x 35 = 25 cans of red paint.

hope this helps:)

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
