Answer:
8 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that an artist wants a shade of orange by mixing 2 parts red paint with 3 parts yellow paint .
We have to find number of quarts of red paint must she mix with 12 quarts of yellow paint to get the same shade.
Ratio of red paint to yellow paint=2:3
If she wants same shade then the ratio of red paint to yellow paint must remain same.
Let x quarts of red paint mix with yellow paint to get same shade.
[tex]\frac{x}{12}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{3}\times 12=8[/tex]
Hence,she required 8 quarts of red paint mix with 12 quarts of yellow paint to get the same shade .
