Answer:

Jay got the ratio of red to white paint correctly.

Explanation:

The "Perfect Pink Paint" mixture is 8 cups of red to 3 cups of white. That means that for every 3 cups of white paint, one should add 8 cups of red. Therefore, the ratio is 8:3. 9 cups of white paint should be mixed with 24 cups of red paint and this is proven by the ratio of 24 to 9 being equal to 8 to 3.
