Using the lines that you have both read and white values:

Divide the red by the white:

16 / 10 = 1.6

40 / 25 = 1.6

The scale factor is 1.6.

So you have 1.6 L red paint / L white paint

Now multiply the amount of white paint by 1.6 to find the amount of red paint:

4 x 1.6 = 6.4

13 x 1.6 = 20.8

20 x 1.6 = 32
