Question

Gina mixed paint to make her favorite shade of purple. She filled one third of the container with red paint. Then she filled the remaining space with 4\text{ L}4 L4, start text, space, L, end text of blue paint

Answer 1

Gina mixes 6,000 mL of paint.

Explanation:

Let the total volume of the container be x

Gina filled one-third of the container with red paint.

Then she filled the remaining space with 4L of the blue paint.

The remaining portion that Gina fills with 4L of paint is [1 - (1/3)] of the bucket.

(2/3) of x = 4L

(2x/3) = 4

x = (3×4/2) = 6 L

Therefore, the total volume of paint she mixed which fills the container = 6 L

In milliliters, 6 L = 6000 mL.

Hope this Helps!!!
