Let s and c be the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current, respectively. Then:
108/s-c=3
108/s+c=2
3s-3c=108
2s+2c=108
Solve for s and c

A compass because youre just making two arcs
a- 2/5 + 1/4=.65 mixture of red and blue paint
(2/5) / .65 X 1.625=1 gallon of red paint
(1/4) / .65 X 1.625=5/8 gallons of blue paint, because
1 + 5/8=1 5/8 gallons of purple paint.
b-1/10 + 2/5 + 1/4=.75 mixture of white, red and blue paint
***FINAL answer: 1 gallon red, 5/8 gallon blue.***
