Last week, Gina's art teacher mixed 9 pints of red paint with 6 pints of white paint to make pink. Gina mixed 4 pints of red paint with 3 pints of white paint to make pink. Did Gina mix the same ratio of red red paint to white paint as her teacher?

No, in order to do the correct ratio she would have needed to add 4.5 pints to 3 pints because if you divide 9:6 by 2 it is 4.5:3 not 4:3
