Charnise uses 3 gal. red paint to 5 gal. white paint to make pink paint. She

The method into creating pink paint is mixing 3 gallons of red paint and 5 gallons of white paint together. This mixture only creates 8 gallons of paint and she needs 16 more. List the factors of 16:

1, 2, 4, 8, and 16

We notice that 8 can be factored out of 16 and becomes:

16 / 8 = 2

If we multiply the sample by 3 (the one already counted plus the two extra), we can discover how much paint is needed. Multiply everything by 3:

3 x 3 = 9

5 x 3 = 15

So in this case, 15 gallons of white paint and 9 gallons of red paint are need and combine for 24 gallons in total.
