2 answers:
Ounce of blue dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 3/4
Ounce of blue dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base =
= 3 × 2
=6
Ounce of pink dye mixed with one gallon of white paint base = 2/3
Ounce of pink dye mixed with eight gallons of white paint base =
= 16/3
= 5.3
Hence, 6 ounce of blue dye and 5.3 ounce of pink dye are needed to mix with 8 gallons of paint.

First, recall that Gaussian quadrature is based around integrating a function over the interval [-1,1], so transform the function argument accordingly to change the integral over [1,5] to an equivalent one over [-1,1].
So,
Let

You can either try solving for each with the help of a calculator, or look up the values of the weights and nodes (they're extensively tabulated, and I'll include a link to one such reference).
Using the quadrature, we then have
