betty needs a specific shade of coral paint that is made using a 5: 3 ratio of red to lime green paint. the lime green paint is made from yellow paint and blue paint. betty wants 4 qt of the coral paint. how much red, yellow, and blue paint will she need to make this paint, and what percent of the final mix is each color? solve this problem in two ways.

5:3
5units:3units
5+3=8
8 units

4qt=8units
divide by 8 both sides
1/2qt=1unit

red=5unit
red=5*1/2
red=5/2qt
d
lime green=3unit
lime green=3*1/2
lime green=3/2qt
not sure what the ratio of the blue paint to the yellow paint is

I do know that
when b=amount of blue paint in quarts
yo need 5/2qt red, b qt blue, and y qt yellow, where b+y=3/2qt

and the ratio is
5:b:y, where b+y=3

can't solve fully without ration of the the blue to yellow
