Answer:

6/5 cans

Explanation:

I'll assume "Pres Blewett" = parts blue and "y’all" = yellow.

If the green is considered 5 parts yellow / 3 parts blue = 5/3, then we'll set up the following ratio:


(5)/(3) =
(2)/(x)

Cross multiply these fractions to yield:


5x = 6\\x = 6/5

6/5 cans of blue should be used.
