Answer 2

Answer:

If you need 20 ounces, ratio the mixture with the same ratio. For example

3 ounces blue

2 ounces yellow = 5 ounces mixture

If you want a the same ratio with 20 ounces, multiply by 4 to get

12 ounces blue

8 ounces yellow = 20 ounces So, you would need 8 ounces of yellow or 6 more ounces of yellow!
