Answer:
Curtis needs 1.8 L of red paint and 1.2 L of blue paint to achieve the desired ratio and make 3 L of purple paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 1.8 L red paint, 1.2 L blue paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up the ratio first which would be 5. The amount of red needed for the purple is 3/5 of the total paint while the amount of blue is 2/5.
Multiply 3 by 3/5 to find the red paint.
3 x 3/5 = 9/5 which converts to 1.8 L
Multip,y 3 by 2/5 go find the blue paint.
3 x 2/5 = 6/5 which converts to 1.2 L
