The first orange paint mixture contains 3 parts red and 5 parts yellow. a second orange paint mixture contains 4 parts red and 6 parts yellow. which of the following statements is true? the first paint mixture is yellower than the second paint mixture.

 The answer is (a) The first paint mixture is yellower than the second mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are two orange mixtures as follows -

In the first mixture, there are 3 parts red and 5 parts yellow. So, the proportions of red and yellow are

and

In the second mixture, there are 4 parts red and 6 parts yellow. So, the proportions are

and

W

Hence,

i.e., the proportion of yellow in first mixture is more than in the second mixture.

Thus, the first mixture is yellower than the second mixture.
