Answer: 18 color papers

The ratio of color paper to white paper is 3:8 which means that for every 3 color papers there should be 8 white papers.
If there are 48 white papers therefore, you need to use direct proportion to solve for the color papers:
3 : 8
x 48
8x = 144
x = 144 / 8
x = 18 color papers
