Jordan is painting his kitchen. To get the color he wants, he mixes 2 parts red paint and 6 parts yellow paint. If he needs 18 parts of yellow paint, how much red paint will he need?

I’m pretty sure it is 6 parts of red paint because 2x3=6 and so 6x3=18

There would be six red paint.

For every two parts of red there is six parts of yellow. Or you could say for every one part red there are three parts yellow.

This means you would divide 18 by three. That makes six red paint.
