Answer: For every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex] and

There are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cans of red paint = 14

Number of cans of yellow paint = 12

According to question, we have to find that for every 1 can of red paint the painter uses what number of yellow paints;

Since the ratio of red paint to yellow paint is given by

[tex]14:12\\\\7:6\\\\1:\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

So, for every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

Similarly,

If Number of can of red paint is used = 34

So, Number of cans of yellow paint will be

[tex]\frac{6}{7}\times 34\\\\=\frac{6\times 34}{7}\\\\=29\ approx.[/tex]

Hence, there are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.
