mix 4 parts yellow to get 2 red to get orange. how much red and yellow to get 2 gallons of orange
I think this should read.....
"mix 4 parts yellow and 2 parts red to get orange. how much red and yellow to get 2 gallons of orange"
If so........we have 6 parts in all.......the yellow is 4/6 of the mixture and the red is 2/6 of the mixture
So....amount of yellow = (4/6) * 2 gallons = 8/6 gals = 4/3 gals
And the amount of red = (2/6) * 2 gals = 4/6 gals = 2/3 gals
