Question

6 litres of pink paint can be made by mixing 1.5 litres of red paint with the correct amount of white paint.How much white paint is needed

Answer 1

Hi!

If 6 liters were to be made, and 1.5 liters of red is needed, then we would subtract 1.5 from 6 to get your final answer
6 - 1.5 = 4.5.
So, 4.5 liters of white will be needed to make 6 liters of paint.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 4.5 litres

Explanation:

If 1.5 liters of red paint is mixed with white paint to make 6 liters of pink paint, then the ratio of red paint to the total mixture is 1.5/6 = 0.25.

Since the pink paint is made by mixing red paint with white paint, the ratio of white paint to the total mixture is 1 - 0.25 = 0.75.

Therefore, to find the amount of white paint needed, we can set up the following proportion:

1.5/0.25 = x/0.75

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.75 * 1.5 / 0.25 = 4.5

So, 4.5 liters of white paint is needed to make 6 liters of pink paint.
