\begin{gathered} \text{The ratio of pink is }\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{ cup of red}}{7\text{ cup of white}} \\ \text{Now, using 14 cups of red paints,} \\ So,\text{ the ratio of pink is}\Rightarrow\frac{2*7\text{ cup of red}}{7*7\text{ cup of white}}=\frac{14\text{cup of red}}{49\text{ cup of white}} \\ So,\text{ the 49 cup of white will use by Mai} \end{gathered}
