Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much of each paint is required to make 600 ml of orange paint.

sum the parts of the ratio

5 + 4 + 3 = 12 parts

divide 600 ml by 12 to find the value of one part of the ratio

600 ml ÷ 12 = 50 ml ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250 ml ← amount of red paint required

4 parts = 4 × 50 ml = 200 ml ← amount of yellow paint required

3 parts = 3 × 50 = 150 ml ← amount of white paint required

Amount of red paint he needs is 250 ml and he has 300 ml

Amount of yellow paint required is 200 ml and he has 300 ml

Amount of white paint required is 150 ml and he has 200 ml

Thus he has enough red, yellow and white paint to make 600 ml of orange paint.
