How do we solve this problem?

If possible change each comparison of red paint to white paint to a % comparison.If ot os not possible explain why?
-the fraction of a mix that is red paint is 1/4.
-the rario of red to white paint in a different mix is 2 to 5.

To solve this problem, we need to understand the given information and the requirements.

1. The fraction of a mix that is red paint is 1/4.
2. The ratio of red to white paint in a different mix is 2 to 5.

Now, let's address the task of changing the comparison of red paint to white paint to a percentage (%).

1. The fraction of a mix that is red paint is 1/4.
To convert this fraction to a percentage, we divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (4) and multiply by 100:
(1/4) * 100 = 25%

2. The ratio of red to white paint in a different mix is 2 to 5.
To change a ratio into a percentage, we need to compare the parts relative to the whole. In this case, we have 2 parts red to 5 parts white. To express this as a percentage, we need to calculate the percentage of red paint in the total paint mixture.

First, we need to find the total number of parts:
2 (red) + 5 (white) = 7 (total parts)

Now, we can calculate the percentage of red paint by dividing the number of red parts (2) by the total number of parts (7) and multiplying by 100:
(2/7) * 100 ≈ 28.57%

So, we have successfully converted the fraction of a mix that is red paint (1/4) to 25% and the ratio of red to white paint (2 to 5) to approximately 28.57%.

In conclusion, it is possible to change the comparison of red paint to white paint to a % comparison, as demonstrated above.
