Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that,

A gray crayon is made with 5 mL of black wax for every 6 mL of white wax.

We need to find the mixture will create the same shade of gray.

For this we need to make the ratio same.

If we multiply 5 mL and 6 mL by 3 to make the ratio same.

5 mL × 3 = 15 mL

6 mL × 3 = 18 mL

Hence, 15 mL of black wax mixed with 18 mL of white wax is mixed so as to make the ratio same.
