You can make 8 pints of purple paint by mixing 6 parts of blue paint to 2 parts of red paint. The employees in the paint department of a home improvement store use this table to determine the amounts of blue and red paint needed to create this color for their customers.

How much red paint is needed to create 40 pints of purple paint for their customers?

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Since we use 5 parts blue and 3 parts red, the total sections is 8.

28/8 = 3.5

We want to find the red which is 3 parts.

3.5 * 3 = 10.5.

Your answer should be 10.5 pints of red.

Hope this helps!
