According to the given graph, 2 cups of white paint are in the same ratio as 6 tablespoons of blue paint.

So, if she has 6 cups of white paint, we just have to multiply the number of tablespoons by 3.


6*3=18

So, Elena needs 18 tablespoons of blue paint.

Additionally, this would make three batches because the given ratio is being multiplied by 3.
