Ounce of blue dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 3/4
Ounce of blue dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base = [tex]\frac{3}{4} (8)[/tex]
= 3 × 2
=6
Ounce of pink dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 2/3
Ounce of pink dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base = [tex]\frac{2}{3} (8)[/tex]
= 16/3
