Answer:
18 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
As we can see, three pint of yellow paint was mixed with four pint of red paint. Let x represent the number of yellow paint and let y represent the number of red paint. Therefore, the ratio of the two paints is:
x/y = 3/4
x = (3/4)y
To calculate the number of red paints (x) that is needed to be mixed with 24 pints of yellow paint, we use the equation and substitute y as 24. Hence:
x = (3/4)y
x = (3/4) * 24
x = 18 pints
