30 gallons of red paint & 20 gallons of blue paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of red to blue paint drops to make purple paint is 3 : 2

Therefore the total number of gallon, in this case, fifty (50) is equivalent to the total of two ratios (which is 3 + 2 5)

If 5 in the ratio = 50; what about 2 & 3

5 = 50

2 = x

After cross multiplication;

5x = 50 * 2

X = 100/5

X = 20

The same for ratio 3

5 = 50

3 = y

5y = 50 * 3

y = 150/5

y = 30

The answer is therefore; 30 gallons of red paint to 20 gallons of blue paint
