Question

I would like someone to help me so I can understand what to do. Pls anyone

Answer 1

we have that

2 cups in a pint

2 pints in a quart

4 quarts in a gallon

so

4 cups in 2 pints

4 cups in a quart

16 cups in 4 quarts

16 cups in a gallon

and

we have

3 parts red and 5 parts yellow

3 parts +5 parts=8 parts

8 parts=1 gallon

red paint fraction is 3/8 gallon

yellow paint fraction is 5/8 gallon

Remember that

I need 16 cups for a gallon

Apply proportion

16/1=x/(3/8)

x=(3/8)16

x=6 cups
