3. Describe the relationship between cups of red paint and cups of yellow paint in as many ways as you can.

   Pause here for a discussion.

4. Lin writes this equation to figure out the amount of yellow paint she will need if she knows the amount of red paint being used. In this equation, represents cups of yellow paint and represents cups of red paint.

   Do you agree that the equation represents the quantities in the situation? Explain your reasoning.
5. What equation can we write to figure out the amount of red paint needed if we know the amount of yellow paint? Be prepared to explain how you know.
