You can make 8 pints of purple paint by mixing 6 parts of blue paint to 2 parts of red paint. The employees in the paint departm
ent of a home improvement store use this table to determine the amounts of blue and red paint needed to create this color for their customers. How much red paint is needed to create 40 pints of purple paint for their customers?
Make all into decimals: .8, .08, .18, .125, .44 Now arrange from smallest to largest: .08, .125, .18, .44, .8 Now your teacher most likely is going to want them how they originally were: 8%, 1/8, 18%, 8/18, .8 :)
