since this is a multiplication, all the numerators are just factors of the product numerator and all denominators are just factors of the product denominator, so we can simply reorder them some, without changing the product.
we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.
