Answer:
4 baby blue paints
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let b represents blue paint and w, white paints
[tex]b : w = 5 : 2[/tex] ---for 1 paint
Required
The number of paints in [tex]20 : 8[/tex]
To do this, we set the following equivalent ratios
[tex]5n:2n = 20 : 8[/tex]
Where n represents the number of paints
By comparison
[tex]5n = 20[/tex]
[tex]2n = 8[/tex]
Solve for n in both cases;
[tex]5n = 20[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{20}{5}[/tex]
[tex]n = 4[/tex]
[tex]2n = 8[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]n = 4[/tex]
