Answer: The Answer I would stick with is 1/3 of red paint

Explanation:

Think about, 7 cups of white paint turns into one. So now the red paint turns into 1/3 of how much it would normally be, And also if this is multiple choice please put the answer

I could be ethier 1/7, or 1/3...

They dont equal the same thing but I would recomend that you do the math and get a good understanding of what I explained.

Hope this helps (: Im sorry If im wrong.
