Answer

That is (96 cups)
Step by step explanation
Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = 16 cups
Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's use the proportion
Green paint Black paint
16 2/3
x 4
16/x =2/3 divided by 4
Cross multiplying, we get
16*4 = 2/3 x
64 = 2/3 x
x = 64/(2/3)
x = 64 * 3/2
x = 192/2
x = 96 cups
96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4
96/4 = 24 quarts
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
Thank you.
