Question

The table shows the amount of red paint that can be added to different amounts of white paint while making a custom paint color:

Answer 1

you are looking for a unit rate (for 1 quart of red, how much white is used).

notice all red amounts are less than white, so b and c make no sense.

I look at the 4:20 and think, half of the paint would be 2:10, half of that is 1:5

(you could also start with 4:20 and divide each by 4 to get this answer)
