There are 2 mixtures of light purple paint. Mixture A is made with 5 cups of purple paint and 2 cups of white paint. Mixture B is made with 15 cups of purple paint and 8 cups of white paint. Which mixture is a lighter shade of purple? Explain your reasoning. *

Mixture B

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture with more white paint would have a lighter shade of purple.

Mixture A is 2/7 white paint while Mixture B is 8/23 white paint.

2/7 is approximately 0.286

8/23 is approximately 0.348

0.348 > 0.286 so Mixture B is made of more white paint than Mixture A and therefore is a lighter shade of purple.
