A 720 ml container holds a mixture of red, yellow, and white paint in a 5 : 3 : 12 ratio. How much more red paint than yellow is present in the mixture?
There are 5 parts red, 3 parts yellow and 12 parts white. Therefore there is a total of 20 parts. The total is 720ml, so each part is 720/20ml = 36ml. So there are 36*5ml of red (180ml) and 36*3ml of yellow (108ml). So there are 180-108 = 72ml more red than yellow.
Yellow to red paint is not a process of simplification!
If you mix red and green paint you get brown.
