The required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.
Given that,
The ratio of yellow and blue colors is 2:3
The proportion of the yellow color is 12 liters.
The proportion of blue color is to be determined.
<h3>What is the Ratio?</h3>
The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.
Let the proportion of the blue color is x,
Now, the ratio can be given as
12 / x = 2 / 3
x = 12 * 3 / 2
x = 18
Thus, the required proportion of the blue paint is 18 liters.
