Question

Suppose you need 80 ml of maroon paint. How much red and blue paint would you mix? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

60ml of red and 20ml of blue

Explanation:

As we know blue is a dark color. It's stronger color then the red. We should create maroon color with a lot more red shade then blueish shade.So we need too much red to begin, we should start mixing colors by adding five(5) parts red for every one(1) part blue. So it will be a ratio of 5:1.

And now for 80ml of maroon paint there will be (12×5)=60 parts of red and (20×1)=20 parts of blue.

I hope it's correct

sorry if it's not the correct answer

Answer 2

The amount of red and blue paint needed to make 80 ml of maroon paint depends on the specific shades of red and blue being used, as well as the desired shade of maroon.

In general, maroon is a dark, reddish-brown color, so we can start by mixing red and blue paints together to get a shade of purple, and then adjust the ratio of red and blue until we get the desired shade of maroon.

Explanation:

One way to approach this is to start with equal amounts of red and blue paint, and then add more red or blue as needed to adjust the shade. For example, we could start with 40 ml of red paint and 40 ml of blue paint, mix them together thoroughly, and then adjust the shade by adding more red or blue paint in small amounts until we get the desired shade of maroon.

It's worth noting that the specific shades of paint being used can vary depending on the brand, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and/or experiment with small amounts of paint before mixing larger quantities. Additionally, it's a good idea to mix more paint than needed to ensure that there is enough for the project, and to store any excess in an airtight container for future use.
