Answer:

7:4 is the new ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

set a proportion; (8+4 = 12)

7 x

-- = --

4 12

12/4 = 3

3 x 7 = 21

x = 21

new ratio: 21:12

simplifies: 7:4 (division of 3)

The new ratio of blue to green dye in its simplest form is 7/6.

Blue and green dye are mixed in a 7:4 ratio to make 44 litres of a teal-coloured dye. A further 8 litres of green dye are added to the mixture. What is the new ratio of blue to green dye in its simplest form to be determined.


What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

Calculating the fraction of blue and green in the teal dye,
Blue dye = 7/(4+7) * 44
Blue dye = 7/11 * 44
Blue dye = 28 liters
Similarly,
Green dye = 7/12*44
Green dye = 16
Now
Blue dye = green dye = 28+16 = 44
Now gree dye is increase by 8 liters
new volume fraction of green dye = 16+8
                                                  = 24
a fraction of blue dye remains the same,
the ratio of blue dye to new green dye in teal colored.
= 28/24
=7/6

Thus, the new ratio of blue to green dye in its simplest form is 7/6.
