Answer 1

Answer:

Yes he have enough white paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

6 gallons of light green paint use → $\frac{3}{8}$ gallons of white paint

using the unitary method

1 gallons of white paint → 6*8/3 gallons of light green paint

                                        → 16 gallons of light green paint

but Liam have 9/16 gallons of white paint

9/16 gallons of white paint → 16* 9/16 gallons of light green paint

                                             → 9 gallons of light green paint

Yes Liam have enough white paint to make 8 gallons of light green paint.
