A recipe for green water says to mix milliliters of blue water and milliliters of yellow water in the ratio .

Perform the following experiments. For each experiment, complete all the steps.

1. Doubling the original recipe:

   1. Draw a diagram to represent the amount of each color in the doubled recipe.
   2. Label an empty cup with the ratio of blue water to yellow water.
   3. Predict how the shade of this mixture will compare to the original mixture. Then, check your prediction by measuring these amounts and mixing them in a cup.
   4. Is the ratio of blue water to yellow water in your mixture equivalent to the ratio in the original recipe? Explain your reasoning.

2. Tripling the original recipe:

   1. Draw a diagram to represent the amount of each color in the tripled recipe. 
   2. Label an empty cup with the ratio of blue water to yellow water.
   3. Predict how the shade of this mixture will compare to the original mixture. Then, check your prediction by measuring these amounts and mixing them in a cup.
   4. Is the ratio of blue water to yellow water in your mixture equivalent to the ratio in the original recipe? Explain your reasoning.
      

3. Inventing your own recipe for a bluer shade of green water.

   1. Draw a diagram to represent the amount of each color in your recipe.
      
   2. Label an empty cup with the ratio of blue water to yellow water.
   3. Check if your recipe makes a bluer shade by mixing one batch in a cup.
   4. Is the ratio of blue water to yellow water in your mixture equivalent to the ratio in the original recipe? Explain your reasoning
