Answer: he needs 18 liters of blue paint and 27 liters of yellow paint.

Explanation:

Mark was mixing blue paint and yellow paint in the ratio of 2 to 3 to make green paint. The total ratio of blue paint and yellow paint

is 2 + 3 = 5

Since he wants to make 45 liters of green paint, the amount of blue plaint that Mark needs to mix with the yellow paint would be

2/5 × 45 = 18 liters

Also, the amount of yellow plaint that Mark needs to mix with the blue paint would be

3/5 × 45 = 27 liters
