Answer:
The equation can be y = 3b/5 or b = 5y/3
Correct statement and question:
The Green Goober, a wildly unpopular superhero, mixes 3 liters of yellow paint with 5 liters of blue paint to make 8 liters of special green paint for his costume.
Write an equation that relates the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint (y) and blue paint (b) needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let y to be the amount of liters of yellow paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
Let b to be the amount of liters of blue paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
We know that:
y:b = 3:5
Therefore,
5y = 3b, dividing by 5 at both sides we have:
y = 3b/5
And also dividing by 3 at both sides we have:
b = 5y/3
Both equations relate the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint and blue paint needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint.
