Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 2/5 to a decimal

2/5 = 0.4

Change 1 2/15 of a fluid ounce to a decimal.

1.133333

Set up your proportion.

0.4 / 1.133333 = x / 5               Cross multiply

0.4*5 = 1.133333*x

2 = 1.133333 x                         Divide by 1.1333333

2/1.33333 = x

x = 1.5 ounces.

He needs 1.5 ounces of red to make 5 ounces of purple.
