Answer:

Cherry Pink has not been made (
$25:17\\eq 4:3$ )

Explanation:

Given that she already has 60litres of Rose Pink paint, we use the ratios to determine the volumes of red/white used:

$Rose Pink=60l\\\\Red=(1)/(3)* 60\\\\=20l\\\\White=(2)/(3)* 60\\\\=40l$

#Add these proportions to the additional red and white paints to determine if Cherry Pink has been made:

$V_r=20l+80l\\\\=100l\\\\V_w=40l+28l\\\\=68l\\\\\therefore r:w=100l:68l \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \# simplify\\\\r:w=25:17$

We equate this proportion to the Cherry Pink proportion to verify if Cherry pink has been made:

$25:17\\eq 4:3$

Hence, Cherry pink has not been made.
