To find the ratio for making 20 gallons of light yellow paint, we can start by considering the ratio for making 4 gallons.
Given that the ratio for making 4 gallons of light yellow paint is 1 gallon of white to 3 gallons of yellow, we can express this ratio as:
1 gallon white : 3 gallons yellow.
Now, to determine the ratio for making 20 gallons, we need to scale up this ratio by a factor of 20/4 since we want to make 20 gallons instead of just 4.
Scaling up the ratio by a factor of 20/4 gives us:
(1 gallon white * 20/4) : (3 gallons yellow * 20/4).
Simplifying the expression, we have:
5 gallons white : 15 gallons yellow.
Therefore, the ratio for making 20 gallons of light yellow paint is 5 gallons of white to 15 gallons of yellow.
