Final answer:
Each snap cube represents 1 ml. By using 5 red snap cubes and 3 blue snap cubes, you create a stack that represents 8 ml of maroon paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
To represent the amounts of red and blue paint in the recipe, you can use snap cubes. Let's say each snap cube represents 1 ml. So, you would need 5 snap cubes to represent the 5 ml of red paint and 3 snap cubes to represent the 3 ml of blue paint. Arrange these snap cubes together to create a stack, with the red snap cubes on top of the blue snap cubes. This stack represents the maroon paint.
So, in total, there will be 8 snap cubes, which represents 8 ml of maroon paint.
Therefore, each snap cube represents 1 ml and there will be 8 ml of maroon paint.
