Answer 1

Answer:

19.6, B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to figure out how many gallons of white paint she needs for every gallon of brown paint.

We are given this equation.

5 gallons of brown paint = 7 gallons of white paint

Divide both sides by 5.

1 gallon of brown paint = 7/5 gallons of white paint = 1.4 gallons of white paint

Now, using this, substitute 14 into the left side.

14 gallons of brown paint = 1.4 * 14 gallons of white paint

14 gallons of brown paint = 19.6 gallons of white paint

Thus, the answer is B, 19.6 gallons
