Anne is painting her house light blue. to make the color she wants, she must add 1/4 cans of white paint to every 1/2 cans of blue paint. how many cans of white paint will she need to mix with 6 cans of blue?

she would require 3 cans of white paint to mix 6 cans of blue paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the color she wants, she must add 1/4 cans of white paint to every 1/2 cans of blue paint. This means that the number of cans of white paint that she must add to 1 cup of blue paint would be 1/2.

Therefore, the number of cans of white paint that would be used to mix 6 cans of blue paint would be

6 × 1/2 = 3

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
