Sally used all of the paint shown to make a certain tint of orange paint. How many pints of red paint should be mixed with 24 pints of yellow paint to make the same tint of orange?

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
