Answer:
Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons
Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the ratio:
Blue paint : Red paint =
8 : 5
Sum of proportion = 8 + 5 = 13
If the customer need 65 gallons of paint,
a) Number of gallons of blue paint needed =
8/13 × 65 gallons = 40 gallons
b) Number of gallons of red paint needed =
5/13 × 65 gallons = 25 gallons
Therefore:
Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons
Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons
20 times
This is just simple division. Do 8 divided by 0.4 and you should get 20
Hope this helps!

Do you need the answer now ?
The answer (I believe) Is 6.
bc you do this...
x+(5x-6)+(5x-6)=54
then solve
3.5 pound = 3 5/10 pounds = 3 1/2 pounds
Now, 1 pound = 16 ounces, so 1/2 pound = 16*1/2 = 8 oz
<span>So the answer is 3 pounds and 8 oz.</span>
