MrRoyal

The number of red pints used by Micheal is painting his car is 18

How to determine the number of pints of red paints he used?

The ratio is given as:

Ratio = Red : Blue

This is represented as:

Red : Blue = 6 : 4

He uses 12 pints of blue paint.

So, we have:

Red : 12 = 6 : 4

Express as fraction

Red/12 = 6/4

Multiply both sides by 12

Red = 12 * 6/4

Evaluate the product

Red = 18

Hence, the number of red pints used by Micheal is painting his car is 18
