Answer 2

✰✰|| Given ||✰✰

• Red paint mixed = 3x

• White paint mixed = 5x

• Quantity of mixture = 160 litres

✰✰|| To Find ||✰✰

• each paint does she use

✪|| Solution ||✪

Let, the multiple of ratio be x

Quantity of mixture = 160 litres

⇒ 3x + 5x = 160 litres

⇒ 8x = 160 litres

⇒ x = 160 litres/8

⇒ x = 20 litres

Red paint mixed = 3x

→ Red paint mixed = 3 × 20 litres

→ Red paint mixed = 60 litres

White paint mixed = 5x

→ White paint mixed = 5 × 20 litres

→ White paint mixed = 100 litres
